Dr. Christos Riziotis, Director of Research, participated as Invited Speaker at the International Conference SPIE Photonics Europe 2026 (Strasbourg 12-16 April 2026). During his talk entitled “Hybrid Integrated Scalable Circuits in Silica with Embedded Quantum Emitters”, Dr C. Riziotis presented the novel technology of quantum emitters’ integration in photonic integrated circuitsexclusively developed at NHRF, together with recent experimental results towards the implementation of quantum computers and ultrasensitive quantum sensing devices.

TPCI/NHRF Researcher Dr Odysseas Tsilipakos is the senior and corresponding author of  the publication “Efficient Lasing in MoS2/WSe2-Based Metasurfaces Enabled by Quasi-Dark Magnetic Dipole Resonance”, G. Nousios, T. Christopoulos, E. Kriezis, O. Tsilipakos, which was published on January 26, 2026 in the prestigious journal of the American Chemical Society (ACS), ACS Applied Nano Materials 2026, 9, 2301–2308 and selected by the editors for display on the Cover Pages of the issue.

Σκοπός της μελέτης είναι η ανάπτυξη βιομημιτικών υβριδικών νανοφορέων λιπιδίων/κατιοντικών συμπολυμερών/δεοξυριβονουκλειϊκού οξέος για γονιδιακή θεραπεία με χρήση τεχνικών μικρορευστονικής (microfluidics) και ηλεκτροστατικής σύμπλεξης μακρομορίων.

Dr Panagiotis Dallas (Senior Researcher, Grade B’) of the TPCI/NHRF is among the corresponding authors of the original research paper Shell-free CuInS₂ Nanocrystals with Near-Unity Photoluminescence for Deep-Red LEDs, S. Orfanoudakis, P. Dallas*, N. Zacharopoulos, P. Tsipas, A. Banis, L. Tsetseris, A.G. Kontos and T. Stergiopoulos* in the journal of the American Chemical Society ACS Appl. Opt. Mater. 2026, 4, 140−147.

Dr Stergios Pispas Research Director at the TPCI/NHRF is coauthor of the publication Amylopectin Copolymers Grafted with RAFT-Obtained Synthetic Polymers: Synthesis and Aqueous Solution Behavior, M.-M. Bazarghideanu, M.-M. Zaharia, A.-M. Macsim, M. Mihai, S. Pispas which has been published in the renowned journal in the field of biopolymers Biomacromolecules 2026, 27, 1985−1998.

This research has been implemented in collaboration with the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry, Romanian Academy of Sciences. It describes the synthesis of hybrid graft copolymers composed of the natural polysaccharide amylopectin through direct reaction with synthetic polymers synthesized by the RAFT polymerization technique.
