SSLiP researcher Abishek Gupta, from University of Amsterdam, presented his work on SSLiP among leading experts and researchers in the field of tribology

PhD Student, Abishek Gupta, from UvA  recently presented a poster in NWO physics 2024 conference in Veldhoven, Netherlands. He had an interesting discussion about our research with the attendees

Congratulations to SSLiP's Ahmed Uluca for winning "Journal of Materials Chemistry Poster Prize" at the recent TriboLink 2024 conference.

SSLiP research, Ahmed Uluca, presented his work in Italy this week. You can download his poster here:  https://lnkd.in/eumX5NT4

Our researchers from University of Amsterdam engaged with local citizens at the Science Park Open Day, raising awareness about the SSLiP project and careers in Physics

SSLiP post doctoral research fellow, Viet Hung Ho, from NTNU,  presented his recent work, 'Structural Superlubricity of Macroscale Patterned Contact Network: A Simulation Study,' at NORDTRIB 2024.

Early Career Researcher, Dr. Aaron Sinnott, took home best oral presentation award for his talk on  "Patterned Surface Contact for Macro Scale Engineering Superlubricity"

SSLiP PhD student, Darragh Gay Gomez, won the RSC Applied Interfaces Poster at the recent Tribolink 2024 conference in Leeds, UK

We celebrated the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology at the Institute of Physics Ireland Spring Conference 2025. Thanks to all contributors and organizers, and Institute of Physics's support to PhD students.

Denis talks about the economic, social and ethical implications of the use of nanotechnology with Dr. Cormac Ó Coileáin, a research fellow, currently working in the Bundeswehr University, Munich and previously a postdoctoral researcher in ASIN in Trinity College Dublin. 

Dr. Zahra Gholamvand spoke about 2D materials and application for frictionless contacts at the "Atoms to Galaxies" event in Pint Of Science public festival

Prof. Duesberg presented the evidence of polymeric adlayers on top of layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), a finding not easily detected by conventional methods like Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), or scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Dr. Zahra Gholamvand wins best poster prize

Prof. Graham's impactful speech left a lasting impression on attendees, inspiring further exploration and collaboration in this innovative area of study.

Prof. Astrid's lecture undoubtedly contributed to expanding the knowledge and understanding of friction phenomena in layered materials among the attendees.

4.5M EIC Pathfinder funding, focusing on a new concept called superlubricity, where solid, atomic-sized 2D materials can slide across one another experiencing virtually no friction.
