Mapslab at MACCS3 conference in Cagliari

28 06 2026

Silvio Osella participated in the 3rd International Workshop on “Modeling and Characterization of Complex Systems” held in Cagliari, Italy, from June 22–24, 2026. The event brought together researchers working at the forefront of experimental characterisation, synthesis, and computation of complex systems spanning from carbon dots to low-dimensional materials to biological interfaces.

It was a great occasion to meet friends and start new collaborations!
