From the Press release
“… for groundbreaking inventions in the field of laser physics”.

The inventions being honoured this year have revolutionised laser physics. Extremely small objects and incredibly rapid processes are now being seen in a new light. Advanced precision instruments are opening up unexplored areas of research and a multitude of industrial and medical applications.

Aiming at closing the gap between academia and industry, CFTC is launching the CFTC-Industry Initiative. This initiative consists of a series of events, bringing professionals from business sector to CFTC to tell us about their work and open challenges.

The first guest is Dr. Jan Engmann, a Team Leader at the Nestlé Research Center in Switzerland. He will explain to us how the concepts and methods from Soft Matter are helping to develop the next generation of Nestlé products!
