BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2026 #NobelPrize in Physics to Francis Halzen “for decisive contributions to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin.”

Yesterday we welcomed Dr Yuzhong Hu, who shared his research on organic-inorganic hybrid ferroelectrics and their photoelectric and piezoelectric properties. We really enjoyed his talk. Thank you for visiting us, Dr Hu! #ferroelectrics #materialsscience #piezoelectricity

Our new paper is in @natmater.nature.com!We use AI-guided design of twisted α-MoO₃ multilayers to experimentally demonstrate multidirectional nanoscale polariton propagation. With @dipcehu.bsky.social & @inmadivulga.bsky.social doi.org/10.1038/s415... #Nanophotonics #DeepLearning #PhononPolaritons

New paper out! 🎉 Published in ACS Applied Nano Materials. Microreflectance mapping reveals air gaps and interface inhomogeneities in van der Waals stacks, features that can strongly affect polaritonic response. Open-source GUI: github.com/juliagprieto... #Nanophotonics #Twistoptics

Michel Devoret, Nobel de Física, habla en esta rara entrevista (concede muy pocas) sobre física y computación cuántica, sobre la 'nobelitis' y sobre la IA: "Cuando se sabe usarla, da superpoderes. Cuando no, te hunde más en la ignorancia". También sobre su pasión: el cine elpais.com/ciencia/2026...

Michel Devoret, Nobel de Física: “No me gusta hacer pronósticos, la tecnología es más caprichosa que la meteorología”

El científico jefe de Google para tecnologías cuánticas habla en esta entrevista sobre el galardón sueco, trabajar en la academia y en una empresa y sobre su mayor afición: el cine

Huge congratulations to Pablo Jarillo-Herrero and Allan McDonald for the the Premio Fronteras del Conocimiento from the Fundación BBVA 👏👏👏 Very well deserved www.fbbva.es

Hemos conseguido definir las reglas para controlar la nanoluz a escala atómica.El trabajo, publicado en la revista Nature Nanotechnology,se centra en los polaritones,cuasipartículas híbridas que nacen cuando la luz y la materia interactúan de manera intensa www.lavozdeasturias.es/noticia/astu...

An international study led by the University of Oviedo and CINN-CSIC, published in Nature Nanotechnology, reveals how anisotropic polaritons enable unprecedented control of light at the nanoscale. 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s415... #Nanophotonics #Science #ERC #Oviedo

Big congratulations to Dr. Gonzalo Álvarez Pérez, awarded the Extraordinary Doctoral Distinction for his PhD thesis on nanophotonics, optics and quantum materials. A brilliant recognition of high-impact scientific research.🌟⚛️ #Nanophotonics #QuantumMaterials #Physics #Optics @uniovi.bsky.social

Great news for our team! Dr. Hu has published new work showing that twisting α-MoO3 bilayers leads to a monotonic increase in near-field heat transfer. The twist triggers topological transitions in polaritonic dispersions from open to closed modes. #nanophotonics #polaritons #2Dmaterials #moo3

🎓 Big congratulations to Christian for defending his PhD last week. His hard work and commitment have made a major contribution to the group’s research. We’re excited to see the next steps in his scientific journey. ⚛️ #science #congratulations #physics

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics goes to three US-based scientists for groundbreaking experiments in the field of quantum mechanics https://cnn.it/46X4wqz

We’re in celebration mode! 🥳 Our team has made a significant discovery, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you! #Science #Breakthrough #QuantumOptics

Research is not only built in the lab. Our team joined a ceramics workshop 🏺🙌 — a chance to create, share and connect beyond science. #QuantumNanooptics #teambuilding #sciencelife

Yesterday we said goodbye to Ana Isabel, a key part of our team these past years. Thank you for everything — we’ll miss you! 💐✨ Best of luck as you start your postdoc adventure in Paris. Bon voyage! #Science #Postdoc #Research #BonVoyage

Excited to share our latest work on tunable single-photon emitters in 2D materials! 🌌 We show that their brightness can be controlled via strain, paving the way for deterministic fabrication of quantum emitters in flexible quantum technologies. #quantumoptics #quantummaterials #photonics

✨ Light doesn’t just travel it interacts. Meet polaritons ⚛️: hybrid quasiparticles where light couples with matter vibrations. 👉 They enable: 🧪 Molecule sensing 🔬 Advanced spectroscopy 📡 Novel communications 🚀 Quantum technologies #quamtumoptics #nanooptics #polaritons

From the lab to the Camino de Santiago! 🌿 Our team hiked from Oviedo to Grado — a great day to recharge, connect, and enjoy some time together outside the lab. #teambuilding #qnanooptics

In this carousel we explain, in a simple and visual way, one of the topics we explore in our lab: polaritons, hybrid quasiparticles born from light and matter. 👉 Swipe to discover how polaritons are created and why they matter for future technologies.

Work in progress! Dr. Aitana Tarazaga, Dr Javier Martín, PhD student @adamskirunski and some fellow researchers are searching for laser-induced emitters in hBN in a controlled way. #quantumemitters #hbn #nanophotonics #quantumoptics #laserphysics #quantumresearch #science #oviedo
