Summer School: Energy Harvesting at micro and nanoscale, Aug. 1-6, 2010

NiPS Workshop: Noise in dynamical systems at the micro and nanoscale, Aug. 6-8, 2010

La Tenuta dei Ciclamini, Avigliano Umbro (TR) – Italy

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, has seen the participation of more than 35 graduate students, post-docs, young researchers, all scientists interested in the physical foundations of energy harvesting at micro and nanoscale. 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”.
