The project aims to explore the potential of carbon dots both in LEDs and in tunable solid-state lasers. Purposely synthesized CDs will be embedded in sol-gel hybrid organic-inorganic matrices, to fabricate nanocomposites optimized for lighting and lasing. The structure, the chemo-physical properties and the host-guest interactions in the nanocomposites will be studied through a combination of optical-structural characterization, atomistic modeling and innovative synthesis.

This is an MSCA ITN project composed by 14 Beneficiaries and 9 Partner Organisations from 9 different countries, and focuses on experimental, theoretical and computational aspects of active matter. The aim of the network is to train a new generation of physicists and engineers with the scientific insight and managerial skills to harness active matter at mesoscopic and nanoscopic length-scales and to exploit it in high-impact applications (e.g. the design and fabrication of biomimetic materials, the targeted localization, pick-up and transport of nanoscopic cargoes, drug delivery, bioremediation and chemical sensing).
