Icrea Call
The 112th ICREA Colloquium ‘Silicate stardust: from the nanoscale to galactic relevance’
Although stars are the most eye-catching component of galaxies, the space between stars inside galaxies is not empty. Instead, this interstellar medium (ISM) is sparsely filled with gas and dust. Denser parts of the ISM – so-called molecular clouds – may form stars from gravitational contraction. Stars, as they age, produce increasingly heavier atoms (e.g. […]
The 115th ICREA Colloquium ‘Toward Understanding Human Singularity: Neural and Behavioral Signatures of Reasoning Strategies in Infants and Adults’
Humans do lots of things that make them unique among living beings. What properties of our species explain its uniqueness? While there may never be a complete answer to this question, and certainly there is not one single answer, progress has been made to try to characterize some of them. Here, we focus on the […]

The 113th ICREA Colloquium ‘How to solve global health challenges with a little help from data’
In the face of escalating global challenges, from climate change to healthcare inequalities, interdisciplinary collaboration is more critical than ever. Harnessing the power of data, such as through artificial intelligence and mathematical modelling, opens up unprecedented opportunities to address these complex issues. This seminar will highlight the intersection of data science, health care, and community […]
The 114th ICREA Colloquium ‘The Role of Nanobots in the Future of Nanomedicine and Environmental Remediation’
Bahareh Khezri – ‘Synthetic Nano/Microrobots: Revolutionizing Environmental Sensing and Remediation’ Addressing growing environmental concerns driven by industrialization and population growth, our research focuses on developing synthetic nano/microrobots as next-generation tools for pollutant detection and remediation. Utilizing 2D materials, advanced photocatalytic systems, and autonomous sensing platforms, we achieve self-propulsion, high reactivity, and versatile functionality for applications […]
