At #PLASMONICA2026 early-career researchers were awarded prizes in memory of our much-missed co-founder Prof. Alessandro Belardini in presence of his family. 👏👏 Sveva Sodomaco @sns.it for the best talk and Marzia Ferrera #EPFL #IIT Genova for the best poster - 3rd and 2nd from the right respectively

The last lively poster session of the #PLASMONICA2026 workshop is under way! Most communities feel like posters are reserved to those results too preliminary or otherwise undeserving of an oral presentation slot; conversely... 🧵/1

#PLASMONICA2026 was kickstarted by the first invited speaker, Paola Borri from Cardiff University School of Biosciences. She explained how single gold nanoparticles can be tracked by coherent nonlinear optical techniques, and thus serve as microscopy tags for imaging complex biological systems 🦠.

#PLASMONICA2025 hosted for the first time in its history a Special Session organized with an industrial partner, namely, the Smart Eyewear Lab – a joint initiative of #EssilorLuxottica and #PoliMi. We think it has been an effective way to draw in actors outside academia and reach new audiences...🧵

#PLASMONICA2025 is drawing to a close today, but the last coffee break and poster session were still lively! Complesso San Geminiano has been a fantastic venue and the shadowy porticos 🏛️ of the historical centre of #Modena helped us cope with an early summer heatwave 🫠.
