David Vila Liarte, PhD student of the Bionanoplasmonics group, won the 1st Prize Oral Award at Gold 2022, which took place in Quebec, Canada, from 17 to 20 July.  The title of his conference is ‘Templated self-assembly of gold nanoparticles onto substrates: periodic arrays and helical structures’   Gold 2022 is a Congress to keep the scientific community informed and aware of the latest advances in the field of gold for high-technology applications, organizing a series of Webinars on each one of the main scientific topics of the conference.
GOLD 2022 is the 9th edition of the International conference series. As a material, gold has experienced renewed interest from the scientific community during these last decades. It started with the field of catalysis by gold nanoparticles, and it is now expanding to booming scientific areas such as homogeneous catalysis, plasmonics, materials sciences, biotechnology, nanotechnology and therapeutic applications. The science of gold has thus become a highly multidisciplinary field.
