"It's exciting to see innovations driven by quantum technologies finding new applications in established fields. This award shows that the scientific community feels the same way", says G. Usevičius.
The innovative study has been published in the prestigious journal “Small Methods”. This achievement expands the range of applications of microresonators and paves the way for studying trace amounts of a wide variety of materials.
Each year, the EPR Society honours the first authors of up to two scientific publications in order to highlight significant achievements and breakthroughs in the fields of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and electron spin resonance (ESR). The award is intended for students and postdoctoral researchers, indicating that their work has been evaluated by world-class experts and recognised as a breakthrough of the year in this field.
