First In-Person ANGSTROM Meeting at CEITEC in Brno

After more than a year of collaborative work, ANGSTROM held its first in-person meeting at CEITEC in Brno, Czech Republic. The event marked an important milestone, bringing together partners to review progress, discuss next steps, and explore new opportunities for collaboration.

During the meeting, participants shared updates on ongoing research and reflected on how the project is steadily advancing toward its objectives. The discussions focused on future directions and strategies to further strengthen the impact of ANGSTROM in the field of advanced energy storage.

The meeting also included visits to the laboratories of Czech partners, offering a closer look at cutting-edge facilities such as CEITEC Nano and IQS Nano. These visits provided valuable insights into the experimental capabilities and technological platforms that support the project.

We extend our sincere thanks to the organizers at CEITEC for their warm hospitality and excellent coordination. The meeting was a great opportunity to reinforce collaboration and set the stage for the next phase of ANGSTROM.

Researchers’ Night 2025 at CEITEC VUT. 

We were thrilled to take part in Researchers’ Night 2025 at CEITEC VUT, where our team had the opportunity to showcase the Ångström Project to a broad audience of interested visitors. Attendees learned how our research explores the atomic-scale frontiers of materials science and paves the way for future innovations in technology.

In the existing world, clean, renewable and sustainable energy is real wealth. This science night we showed fun experiments for generating and storing energy by visitors using daily household stuff. Visitors had an opportunity to learn sthe cience behind mechanical to electrical energy generation and the chemistry behind working batteries and supercapacitors. They could see and feel 3D-printed wearable batteries in the form of rings and brick shapes that show innovation in energy devices. They interacted with our international scientists. There were over 7000 visitors that night.

Angstrom kicks off:

a new approach to supercapacitors

Angstrom, the project investigating innovative solutions for supercapacitors as an alternative to conventional batteries, has held its first online meeting between researchers from the Jožef Stefan Institute (Department of Gaseous Electronics), Central European Institute of Technology (Brno University of Technology), IQS Nano and the Spanish National Research Council (Materials Science Institute of Seville), the latter institution responsible for coordinating the project.

The Angstrom consortium addressed various topics, including administrative and management information and processes, set up of project procedures, communication and dissemination, upcoming deliverables and others.

Right now, the researchers are working on two main stages which are nanocarbon synthesis and surface engineering for the development of novel materials.

Thanks for the fruitful discussion!
