The magnetic sensing at nanoscale level is a promising and interesting research topic of nanoscience [1]. Indeed,magnetic imaging isapowerful tool forprobingbiological,chemical andphysical systems. The study of small spin cluster, like magnetic molecules and nanoparticles,single electron, cold atomclouds, is oneof themost stimulating challengesof applied and basicresearch of the next years. In particular, the magnetic nanoparticle investigation plays afundamental role for the modern materialscienceand itsrelative technologicalapplicationslikeferrofluids, magnetic refrigeration and biomedical applications, including drug delivery, hyper-thermiacancertreatmentandmagneticresonanceimaging contrastagent.Actually,oneofthemostambitious goals of the high sensitivity magnetometry is the detection of elementary magneticmomentorspin.Inthisframework,severaleffortshavebeendevotedtothedevelopmentofahighsensitivitymagnetic nanosensor pushing sensing capability to the individual spin level. Among the differentmagnetic sensors, SuperconductingQUantum InterferenceDevices (SQUIDs) exhibit an ultra highsensitivityandarewidelyemployedinnumerousapplications[2,3]. Basically,a SQUID consists ofa superconducting ring (sensitive area) interrupted by two Josephson junctions.Intherecentyears,ithasbeenprovedthatthemagneticresponseofnano-objects canbeeffectivelymeasuredbyusingaSQUIDwithaverysmallsensitivearea(nanoSQUID). In fact,thesensornoise,expressed interms of the elementarymagneticmoment (spin or Bohrmagneton),islinearlydependentontheSQUIDloopsidelength.Forthisreason,SQUIDs have been progressivelyminiaturized in order toimprove the sensitivityup to fewspinper unit of bandwidth. With respect to other techniques,nanoSQUIDs offer the advantage of directmeasurement ofmagnetization changes in small spinsystems.Inthislecture,wewill focusonnanoSQUIDs,inparticular,wewilldiscussthemotivations,thetheoreticalaspects, thefabricationtechniquesandthedifferentnanoSQUIDs.References[1] D.Bader,Colloquium:“Opportunitiesinnanomagnetism”,Rev.ModernPhys,vol.78,pp1–15,

Thankstocurrentnanotechnologytechniques, it is possible to fabricate SQUID having a loop radius less than 100 nm,obtaininganadequatesensitivitytodetectthemagneticresponseof smallspinpopulations.Oneof themost interestingapplication isthe investigationofsinglemagneticnanoparticle. In fact,although techniques for measuring the magnetic properties of large particles or collections ofnanoparticles are well-established, single nanoparticle measurements are less straightforwardandbecomeincreasinglychallengingastheparticledimensionsandmagnetic moments are reduced. Theinvestigationofnanoparticlesatnanoscale level couldbeof significancenotonlyfortheinformationtechnologyandthequantumcomputingbutalsofor futuremedicalandbiologicalapplications.Other interesting application are readout of a nanoscale electromechanical systems (NEMS) resonator and the single photon or macromolecule detector [2].

Additivemanufacturing,or3Dprinting,hasthepotentialtorevolutionizeconstruction,allowingon-demand production of complex structures in remote locations, with a minimum (or even no)infrastructure in place, potentially with zero waste production. However, as the ambition for 3D-printed objects is rising from home-printed plastic gadgets with little demands to large-scaleconstructionsthatmustsustainheavyloads,thelimitationsofcurrent 3D printing technology appearpainfully obvious [1]. Attempts to reproduce ourstandarddesignfor large-scaleconstructionsfore.g.housesandbridgeswithadditivemanufacturinghavefailed:itissimplynotrealisticto3D-printsteel-reinforcedconcrete.Iarguethatthegoaltomimicourtraditionalconstructionparadigmwith3Dprinting isthewrongwayforward.Arevolutionarynewconstructionmethodologylike3Dprintingcallsfor anequally revolutionary design solution. An ideal place to look for such a solution isNature,whichoffersextremelytoughmaterials,ofadesignverydifferentfromourcurrentbuilding constructions.The archetypal design theme for strong biological composites is a helical arrangement ofpolysaccharides, primarily chitin or cellulose, embedded in other organic and/or inorganiccomponents.Amongthetoughest compositesknownisthestomatopoddactylclub,whichowes itsextraordinary ability to dissipate impact and stopcrackpropagationtoanexquisitearrangementofchitin helices with smoothly varying pitchanddirection,mineralized inhydroxyapatiteandcalciumcarbonate[2].ChitinandcellulosearethemostabundantpolymersonEarth,prominent intheanimaland plant kingdoms, respectively. By a combination of mechanical and chemical treatment, it ispossibletoextractpurelycrystallinechitinorcellulosefromanaturalsource,asneedle-likenanorodssome 100nm in length and 5nm in diameter. After sulphuric acid hydrolysisthe nanorods can beeasily dispersed inwater thanks to the surface charge introduced bythe acid. Thanks to the rod-like shape and the chirality of the polymer, these suspensions form liquid crystal phases withspontaneoushelix formation if the concentration isbeyond2-4%. Chitin solutions, prepared fromseafood trash, have already been 3D-printed intolarge-scale complexdesigns [3].Bydevelopingthisapproach,takingthescienceofcolloidalliquid crystal formation into account, I believewe willbe able to achieve unprecedentedtoughbiomimeticmaterialsviachitinorcellulosenanocrystal3Dprinting.References [1] M.Rhodes, Wired on-line, 03.02.16, https://www.wired.com/2016/03/additive-

The interaction of ultrashort laser pulses (≈ 100 fs)with solid targets is largely exploited both infundamental research and scientific and technological applications. In particular, laser ablationinduced by ultrashort laser pulses is opening up several interesting opportunities in “materialprocessing” [1-3]. Among the various examples, the direct generation of nanoparticles and thecreation ofmicro- and nano-structured surfaces represent two cases of striking scientific interestwhichcanalsoleadtodiverseimportantapplications[2-4].
Thispresentationwill firstly illustrate thebasicmechanisms involved in laserablation triggeredbyintense,femtosecondlaserpulsesandthepeculiarcharacteristicsofthedecompositionprocessesoftheirradiatedmaterialoccurringattheearlystagesafterthepulsehitsthetarget.Then,theglancewill bemoved to the surface of the targetmaterial discussing the formationofmicro- andnano-structuredsurfacesby“directfemtosecondlasersurfaceprocessing”withbeamscharacterizedbyaGaussian spatial profile [2-5]. In particular, the peculiar morphologies of random and regularstructures produced on the surface of metallic and semiconductor targets will be addressed,illustratingsomeofthemainmechanismsinvolved.Phenomenonlikeincubation,formationofregularsubwavelengthripplesonmetalsandsemiconductorsandproductionofsupra-wavelengthgroovesonsemiconductorswillbepresentedanddiscussed[5,6].Finally,someofthepossibleapplicationsofthestructuredsurfacetogetherwiththeirnovelfunctionalitieswillbeaddressed[1-3].
