SNOM 

07/12/2023 - SNOM "Sapienza Nano Optical fabrication and spectroMicroscopy" project wins the public call Open Infrastructures for Research 2022 by Regione Lazio, aimed at creating an infrastructure for increasing the competitiveness of the regional research and innovation system. The aim of SNOM is the foundation of an open infrastructure for research in the field of characterization and fabrication of innovative materials and devices, through microspectroscopic techniques able to perform imaging and spectroscopy at the nanoscale.

The overall cost of the project is about € 3.4 Mln. Regione Lazio co-finances the project with an amount of approximately € 2.2 Mln. The grant will be devoted to upgrading of laboratories, instruments and equipment, and updating of technological systems and plants.

13/11/2024 - A delegation from the Physics Class of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences recently embarked on a journey through some of most significant scientific institutions in Rome. The delegation visited the Dept. of Physics, Sapienza University of Rome and on November 13th, for a  tour of the scientific cutting-edge laboratories, including SapienzaTerahertz Laboartories.

They were welcomed in Sapienza Terahertz laboratories by Prof. Lupi and our young scientific team . During the delegation's visit, Prof. Lupi highlighted the main research areas of SapienzaTerahertz in the field of THz/IR spectroscopy and photonics, such as THz and optical spectroscopy and photonics of quantum matter, and innovativeTHz/IR-based diagnostic methods for pathogen detection.
