News from the recent work of J. Legendre on thermally smart windows! It may be possible to combine near-IR and mid-IR designs for actively controlling solar heating and radiative cooling, respectively, promising considerably reduced electricity demands icfo.eu/news/2538/cool…
📝 Cooling in summer, heating in winter: all through one smart window ICFO researchers propose novel smart windows for efficient thermal control, with tunable properties that enable harnessing heat in winter and releasing heat in summer. ICFO News 👉 bit.ly/4lBOCbm

🏆 Nefeli Stamouli, Master's student at the SLN, won the poster prize during the @ICFOnians Frontiers Research School: Pyshics for Biology and Medicine! 🎉 "Simplified #Spectral Fingerprinting in Biological #Imaging Using Optical Phasor Analysis" 💡
🚀The European Space Agency - @esa and @Hispasat have signed an agreement for Q-Design, the first integrated satellite and terrestrial quantum key distribution system. Read the full news article 👇 icfo.eu/news/2534/hisp…

📝 ICFO researchers demonstrated a way to tune the properties of anisotropy-induced bound-states in the continuum –states that can hold light inside a structure instead of letting it just escape– using liquid crystals. 🔗In @OpticaWorldwide ICFO News👉bit.ly/44MEHZk
