International top-class conference on Spectroscopy at the University of Bayreuth
University of Bayreuth, Press Release No 137/2022 - 18 August 2022
Researchers in the field of spectroscopy from 15 countries will meet at the University of Bayreuth between 29 August and 2 September. The international conference "Hole Burning, Single Molecule, and related Spectroscopies (HBSM 2022)" will take place in Bayreuth for the first time.
The conference, which takes place every three years, brings together almost 70 scientists from all over the world. They deal with general questions of basic research. Single-molecule spectroscopy can be used to better identify the properties of the smallest components of, for example, semiconductors, particles or proteins. This method therefore enables the elucidation of numerous (bio-)physical relationships. The "super-resolution optical microscopy" developed in recent years is partly based on techniques of single-molecule spectroscopy and has become an important tool in the life sciences. In 2014, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to the developers of super-resolution microscopy.
