Spinodal and binodal decomposition were used to drive the formation of self-assembled bulk Bi2Se3/CdSe (i.e. topological insulator/trivial semiconductor) heterojunctions.

Our lab member, Dr. Andreea Oarga, has recently been interviewed by a leading Slovenian newspaper @Delo about #caves and #astrobiology. She speaks about caves as natural analogues of the extraterrestrial environment and much more: delo.si/novice/znanoteh/kaj-… @Delo_Znanost

Done entirely within our research group, this work demonstrates a simple hydrothermal route for Cr-doped Bi₂Se₃, achieving Cr incorporation levels comparable to MBE and identifying the nanoscale doping limit. @ACS_Omega #OpenAccess pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

We are pleased to see that the Annual PhD Student Day is becoming a tradition at @UNG_ungsi. The event was first held in May 2025 and this year the range of participants has extended to other labs at the University of Nova Gorica. @lels_ung
Danes je v Univerzitetnem centru Ajdovščina potekal Dan doktorskih študentov in študentk Fakultete za podiplomski študij Univerze v Novi Gorici. Dogodek je povezal raziskovalce različnih področij ter spodbudil izmenjavo znanj in predstavitev raziskovalnega dela.

Uporaba svetlobe za segrevanje materialov ni nič novega. V medicini se ta pojav uporablja pri zdravljenju tumorjev ali ciljni dostavi zdravil, v vsakdanjem življenju pa na primer pri segrevanju vode s pomočjo sončnih kolektorjev. ~ dr. Blaž Belec, UNG primorske.svet24.si/plus/na-…
