🧠 Prof. Urtė Neniškytė secures €2M ERC grant to decode the brain's 'sugar code'. That's the second European Research Council (ERC) grant for the leading neuroscientist at Vilnius University Life Sciences Center, confirming her expertise and credibility in the field. Her project, GlycoCirc, focuses on a tiny sugar layer called the glycocalyx that coats brain cells. This "sugar shield" may play a key role in how the brain develops and what makes the human brain unique. The funding will enable Prof. Neniškytė's team to utilize advanced lab methods to study how the glycocalyx affects brain development and how changes in it could be linked to conditions like epilepsy. 🔎

Plasmonic sensing explores how metal nanoparticles interact with light allowing to detect and identify substances with exceptional sensitivity and speed. Accurately predicting the optical response of these plasmonic nanostructures is fundamental for advancements in fields such as sustainability and biomedicine. However, traditional simulation methods are extremely time-consuming and computationally expensive. At the IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP), our researchers introduced a novel deep learning-based generative AI model that significantly reduces computation time for simulating the optical response of diverse plasmonic structures.

At the heart of EMILIE™ is NEMS-FT-IR: a photothermal spectroscopy technique that combines nanoelectromechanical systems with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, enabling the bulk analysis of nanoparticles and nanomaterials. Why it matters: 🔹 Wavelength-independent sensing 🔹 Direct sample collection of nanomaterials 🔹 No interference from scattering or reflectance 🔹 Integrated temperature control for thermal desorption 🔹 Detection limits down to the picogram scale In other words, this NEMS-FTIR system provides spectroscopy without compromise—high sensitivity, broad range, and robust performance. 📄 Dive into the science below! #NEMS #FTIR #Spectroscopy #Nanomaterials #Bruker #EMILIE

We’re excited to share that ThrustMe’s latest peer-reviewed paper has been published in Vacuum, an Elsevier journal! 🎉 Authored by Dr Dmytro Rafalskyi and Dr Stanislav Dudin, the article presents the design and performance of our LTA100, a revolutionary laboratory tool that recreates the conditions of the ionosphere and upper atmosphere on Earth. This work addresses a critical challenge in satellite and payload development: the unpredictable effects of the space environment on hardware. From surface degradation and charging events to plasma-induced communication issues, many in-flight failures have remained hard to predict and replicate - until now. The LTA100 enables realistic ground testing to reduce risks before launch. With controlled ion energy, adjustable plasma profiles, and the ability to simulate both ionospheric and upper atmospheric conditions, the LTA100 opens new possibilities for spacecraft testing, qualification, and innovation.

Using a combination of spectromicroscopy at BESSY II and microscopic analyses at DESY's NanoLab, a team has gained new insights into the chemical behaviour of nanocatalysts during catalysis. The nanoparticles consisted of a platinum core with a rhodium shell. This configuration allows a better understanding of structural changes in, for example, rhodium-platinum catalysts for emission control. The results show that under typical catalytic conditions, some of the rhodium in the shell can diffuse into the interior of the nanoparticles. However, most of it remains on the surface and oxidises. This process is strongly dependent on the surface orientation of the nanoparticle facets. https://lnkd.in/gmaBKKpj

When Gediminas Mikutis spun off Haelixa from his PhD work at ETH Zürich in 2016, it was with a singular goal: use DNA-marking technology to revolutionize supply chain traceability. But while the product is a “very good solution” for making sense of the complex tangle of commercial relationships that turn cotton into a T-shirt, cashmere into a sweater or silkworm cocoons into a scarf, it wasn’t being marketed well, admitted Patrick Strumpf, who replaced Mikutis as CEO in early 2024. Enter Strumpf, who has founded three companies and sold two. With Mikutis continuing to finesse the science as its chief technology officer, Strumpf is free to fully lean into the commercial side of things. That includes bringing on Puma’s former chief sourcing officer as a board member to spearhead a new “manufacturer-centric strategy” that will boost not only Haelixa’s profile but also its uptake. It took Strumpf several attempts at sliding into Anne-Laure Descours's LinkedIn DMs—he asked a year ago, then six months ago, then three—before they got on the phone together. “You are persistent,” Strumpf remembered her saying, while Descours said she was already familiar with Haelixa through interactions at Puma, where she remains as a sustainability advisor. She flew from Hong Kong to Zurich to meet the team. Gears started turning. In Haelixa, Descours saw something that set it apart from the raft of blockchain, barcode and biotagging platforms that promise companies that what they buy is what they’ll get.
