Congratulations to Paolo Actis from the University of Leeds on winning Second prize in the #RSCMat category of the #RSCPoster Twitter Poster Conference 2017.
Paolo’s poster was titled was Creative use of electrowetting to perform biopsies from living cells
We are delighted to award Paolo the prize of a £50 RSC book voucher on behalf of Materials Horizons.
Thank you for participating in the Twitter conference and congratulations again on your achievement!
Congratulations to the poster prize winners at the Asian Conferene on Nanoscience & Nanotechnology which took place from the 10th – 13th October in Sapporo, Japan. The conference was attended by 330 participants from over 10 different countries. There were 79 oral (31 invited) and 182 poster presentations. Materials Horizons and Nanoscale Horizons provided sponsorship in the form of poster prizes which were handed to the following winners:
Chee Leng Lay (University of Singapore) for her poster titled: Transformative Two-Dimensional Array Configurations by Geometrical Shape-shifting Protein Microstructures, Ryo Iida (Hokkaido University): Thermoresponsive assembly of gold nanospheres and nanorods, Satoshi Nakamura (Hokkaido University): Immobilization of AuNRs by assistance of a DNA brush and Zhepeng Zhang (Peking University): Direct Chemical Vapor Deposition Growth of MoS2/h-BN van der Waals Heterostructures on Au Foils.
The conference included recent hot topics on chemical and physical aspects of nanostructures as well as their fabrication and characterization technologies with its main focus on revolutionary approaches and results developed newly in nanochemistry and nanomaterials for the last two years. Further information can be found on the website.

Materials Horizons congratulates Noemie-Manuelle Dorval Courchesne for her poster prize award at the Active and Adaptive Materials Conference which took place at the City University of New York, New York from the 22nd – 23rd October 2015.
The conference focused on a number of different research fields in nano-molecular chemistry and featured with International speakers: Dr. Lee Cronin of the University of Glasgow, Dr. David G. Lynn of Emory University, Dr. Jan van Esch from Delft University of Technology and Dr. Samuel I. Stupp amongst others. A poster session was held on the ground floor with one of the prizes being awarded from Materials Horizons.

Materials Horizons would like to congratulate the prize winners from the 6th EuChemS conference on Nitrogen Ligands which took place in Beaune, France from the 13th-17th September. A number of Royal Society of Chemistry journal prizes – including Materials Horizons – were awarded to the following attendees for their work:
Previous conferences have been held in Alghero (1992), Como (1996), Camerino (2004), Garmisch-Partenkirchen (2008) and Granada (2011) with the intention of attracting scientists with an interest in the field of metal-nitrogen ligand chemistry from Europe, abroad and in particular, young scientists.
Further information about the conference can be found on the website.

Big congratulations to the poster prize winners at the 12th International Symposium on Functional π-Electron Systems (Fπ-12) which took place in Washington, USA from the 19th – 24th July.
Matthias Stolte (Universitat Wurzburg, Germany) and Amir Mazaheripour (UC Irvine) were awarded first place poster prizes sponsored by Materials Horizons and Journal of Materials Chemistry A, whilst the runner up prizes were sponsored by Materials Horizons, Journal of Materials Chemistry B and Journal of Materials Chemistry C. These were presented to: Sahika Inal (CMP-EMSE, France), Nathan Kirchhofer (UCSB), Ana Fokina (Johannes Gutenberg-Universitat Mainz) and Suhyun Jung (Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology). Titles of their winning posters can be found here.
The symposium regularly attracts world-wide participants who meet to discuss their new achievements in research fields. Another symposium, scheduled for 2017 will take place in Hong Kong and will be titled Fπ-13. Further information about the symposium including the program and speakers from this year can be found by clicking here.
