An international physics conference “Frontiers of Quantum and Mesoscopic Thermodynamics”, taking place in Prague in August 2022, dealt with small nanosystems with sizes from tents to hundreds of nanometres in non-equilibrium conditions. The behaviour of such systems is thought to have a significant impact on the future of nanotechnologies, quantum computers development but also on the future of chemistry and medicine. 

The recently deceased Ing. Ludvík Smrčka, DrSc., an outstanding researcher and a friend, as remembered by four of his colleagues.

The conference and workshop were focused on the latest discoveries in the area of crystal growth, epitaxy, characterization and applications.

Pavla Štenclová, Ph.D., received the Austin Barnes´ Prize for the best poster. The presented results were obtained during the research stay at the University of Ulm.

The works presented results of basic research of diamond material with potential application in wastewater treatment and the detection of pollutants in water or in the atmosphere.

Czech scientists were awarded during the 9th International Conference on Nanomaterials – Nanocon 2017 in Brno.
