Prof. David Magri, a professor in the Department of Chemistry, presented at the . The conference was held at the Academic Centre for Materials and Nanotechnology at AGH University of Krakow in Krakow, Poland, between 11 and 13 June.
Topics presented at the conference included quantum, neuromorphic and reservoir computing, spintronics and molecular computing. Prof. Magri contributed an oral presentation entitled Ferrocene-based Molecular Logic Gates based on Photoinduced Electron Transfer.
The journey to Krakow was also an opportunity to visit the research laboratories of Prof. Konrad Szaci艂owski, a collaborator on the FUSION R&I: Research Excellence project White Light Emitting Smart Molecules (WLESM). The project entails the development of white light emitting (WLE) materials based on fluorescent dyes and polymer supports with intelligent Boolean logic functions that use chemical inputs and light as the output, specifically with a focus on generating white light. The development of innovative WLE materials could open new research directions in material science, renewable energy and sustainability.
This project is supported by the FUSION R&I: Research Excellence Programme, grant agreement number REP-2024-015 administered by Xjenza Malta.
