Dear Colleagues,

we are glad to announce the 9th edition of the International Conference on NANOstructures and nanomaterials SElf-Assembly 2026, that will be held from June 9th to 12th, in Catania (Italy), (https://nanosea2026.imm.cnr.it)

 

NANOSEA gives a comprehensive overview of scientific results, from synthesis of 2D and nanomaterials to properties, processing techniques, and applications. The conference aims to showcase the intrinsic advances in nanoscience, addressing theoretical and experimental approaches to understanding the growth and self-assembly mechanisms of 2D materials and nanostructures. The conference focuses fundamental issues in crystal growth, scaling, characterization, and quantitative material modeling to provide novel quantum-scale devices at atomic and molecular dimensions for applications in advanced nanotechnology, microelectronic, photonics, and sensors.

It brings us pleasure to announce our confirmed Keynote and Invited Speakers for NANOSEA 2026:

 

Keynote speakers:

J. García de Abajo (ICFO-Institut de Ciencies Fotoniques, Barcelona, Spain)

M. Fleischer (Institute for Applied Physics and Center LISA+, Tübingen, Germany)

M. Craciun (Nano Engineering Science and Technology Group and Centre for Graphene Science Department of Engineering, University of Exeter, UK)

 

Confirmed invited speakers:

G. Kolhatkar (Engineering Physics, McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada)

T. Teranishi (Okayama University and Institute of Science, Tokyo, Japan)

O. Skibitzki (IHP - Leibniz Institute for High Performance Microelectronics, Frankfurt, Germany)
