Prof. Giulia Fulvia Mancini has won the prestigious European Research Council (ERC) Proof of Concept Grant with the project: “Ultrafast, High-resolution, X-ray Microscopy for Nanometrology: Single-shot Hyperspectral Ptychography in a Compact and Cost-effective Device (STUNNED)“.

The ERC PoC recognizes business ideas with high potential for scientific and technological innovation that can have a significant impact on the European economic and social system.

STUNNED is the second ERC PoC awarded to LUXEM, following HYPER, expanding purpose and impact of the ERC StG ULTRAIMAGE project directed by Prof. Mancini at LUXEM. It was selected among the many proposals received by the ERC to promote the development of innovative technologies capable of providing real-time measurements of nanoscale materials, directly under operating conditions, accelerating their understanding and control.
