On 18 April 2013, the 2nd International Conference on Nanotechnology and Biomedical Engineering (ICNBME-2013) started. The event is organized by the Academy of Sciences of Moldova, Technical University of Moldova, University of Medicine and Pharmacy "Nicholae Testemitanu" and Biomedical Engineering Society in Moldova.
FP7 project MOLD-ERA organises a Training Courses in nano-bioengineering, biomaterials and biocompatibility.
In the period of July 2-6, 2012 the second Summer School in nanotechnology and biomedical engineering "Nano-Bioengineering-2012" was organized by the FP7 project MOLD-ERA. The second multidisciplinary event, organized at the intersection of several fields in Moldova, aimed at developing creative skills and training specialists for the national economy, in the hope that integration into the European Research Area will create more opportunities for the local R&D community.
A new way to fabricate 3D nanostructures from gallium nitride using a focused ion beam (FIB) has been developed by researchers in Moldova, Australia, Germany and France. The technique, which involves directly writing a negative charge on the surface of GaN with the FIB and then photoelectrochemically etching the sample, allows ultrathin membranes and supporting nanocolumns to be fashioned in a controlled way. GaN is a large-bandgap semiconductor widely used in electronics applications such as high-temperature, high-power electronics and optoelectronics for light-emitting diodes and lasers.
