Luca Gammaitoni from NiPS, invited speaker at the ICAND2010 conference on Applications in Nonlinear Dynamics. 

On Sept. 23 he will present the most recent results on nonlinear energy harvesting developed at NiPS in the framework of the EC founded project NANOPOWER (www.nanopwr.eu).

Slides of this presentation available here.

NiPS lab and CEA LETI (http://www.instituts-carnot.eu/en/node/247) agreed to conduct a joint research on vibration energy harvesting at MEMS scale.

The LETI is a research CEA laboratory based in Grenoble, focused on technologies for miniaturization and their applications, operating most of its research projects in cooperation with companies;

LETI is one of Europe leading centres for applied electronics research.

The weekly science and technology magazine Nòva 24 talk about NiPS Lab (p. 15) in an article entitled "Energia sonora" (sound energy) signed by journalist Agnese Codignola.

The Noise in Physical System Laboratory organized the 2010 NiPS Summer School devoted to Energy Harvesting at micro and nanoscale.

The school, supported by the EC Fet Proactive project NANOPOWER, the Office of Naval Research Global (ONRG) and wisepower srl, has seen the participation of 35 graduate students, post-docs, young researchers, all scientists interested in the physical foundations of energy harvesting at micro and nanoscale, coming from 12 different countries and 12 international teachers.

Attached to the school there was a two days workshop where the students and external participants presented the result of their research. The workshop covered a wider range of subjects under the title of “Noise in dynamical systems at the micro and nanoscale”. 

More information on the NiPS Summer school are available at: www.nipslab.org/summerschool

An agreement for hosting researchers sponsored by INFN (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare) has been signed between INFN National President Prof. Roberto Petronzio and the CEO of Wisepower srl Prof. Luca Gammaitoni.
The agreement is now in place and the first researcher, Dr.PhD Flavio Travasso has joined Wisepower srl to work on our laboratories.
We welcome Dr. Travasso and this new promising agreement between a large National Research Institute and our company.

Perugia 7 July 2010.

A press conference at the presence of the Governor of Umbria, Mrs Catiuscia Marini, has been held in Perugia at the Palazzo della Regione on July 7 2010, at 10.00 to present the two companies from the UMBRIA region that have been selected to represent Italy as an example of innovation at the expo shanghai 2010 world exhibition.

Wisepower srl is aimed at the design and prototyping of a new class of energy generators for mobile devices. This mission originates from the discovery, made in the university laboratory, of a new technology that significantly improves the performances of a wide class of electric power generators. Based on this new technology and on the long-standing experience of the inventors in research activities, they decided to give birth to a company aimed at applying this technology to designing micro energy generators for mobile devices.

The press conference has been introduced by Leonardo Alfonsi (from NiPS lab and Perugia Science Festival). Contributions from the following speakers:

- Catiuscia Marini - Presidente Regione Umbria

- Aurelio Forcignanò - Direttore Confidustria Perugia

- Caterina Petrillo - Direttore Dipartimento di Fisica Università degli Studi di Perugia

- Federica Angelantoni - Managing Director Archimede Solar Energy - Angelantoni Group

- Luca Gammaitoni - Wisepower CEO and NiPS lab Director

 Pictures of the press conference are available at: http://www.nipslab.org/image/tid/26

Informations on the list of selected companies is available at the italian ministry web site: http://www.innovazionepa.gov.it/lazione-del-ministro/eventi-e-progetti/s...

The competition web site where all the innovative companies are listed is managed by the high tech review WIRED at: www.italianvalley.it.

L. Gammaitoni and H. Vocca visited the LMA laboratoire in Lyon on June 23 2010.

The Laboratoire des Matériaux Avancés (LMA) is an USR (Unité de Service et de Recherche n°3264) from CNRS and is directed by Raffaele Flaminio (in the pictures).

The visit was finalized to discuss a collaboration on the study of dissipative mechanisms (thermal noise) in thin optical coating layers.
