The connection between fundamental research and societal applications may play a major role in both directions. In this contribution we present the fabrication and characterization of “solid-gas” nanocomposite films, initially developed for antireflective coatings in solar cells applications. Firstly, it was found that the nanoporous silicon films, obtained by magnetron sputtering (MS)...

The rapid advancement of nanotechnology has opened new frontiers in the design of diagnostic devices with unprecedented sensitivity, selectivity, and speed. Central to this progress are the unique physical properties of nanomaterials—including size-dependent optical, electrical, mechanical, and surface characteristics—which enable innovative mechanisms of signal generation and transduction....

Our planet is nowadays experiencing an unprecedented situation of accelerated climate change linked to the exacerbated anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). Additional to the natural biogeochemical exchanges between the biosphere and the atmosphere, the huge increase of GHG fluxes deriving from fuel burning has produced a sharp increase of CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, but...
