Following the successful TWD Symposiums in Barcelona and in Strasbourg, the 3rd TWD will take place from 31 May to 1 June 2017 in Tripolis, Greece. The symposium focuses specifically on sensor-related data acquisition, computing, software and system integration.
The EPS, the Fondazione Alessandro Volta and Edison S.p.A. have awarded the 2016 EPS Edison Volta Prize for outstanding contributions to physics to Michel A.G.J. Orrit, from Leiden University, the Netherlands “for seminal contributions to optical science, to the field of single-molecule spectroscopy and imaging (first single molecule detection by fluorescence and first optical detection of magnetic resonance in single molecule) and for pioneering investigations into the photoblinking and photobleaching behaviors of individual molecules at the heart of many current optical superresolution experiments.”
