The international scientific conference titled “Advanced Functional Materials and Next-Generation Nanotechnology”, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Amirullah Mammadov, an outstanding physicist, State Prize laureate, Honoured Scientist and Professor at Baku State University (BSU), continued with two parallel thematic sessions at the university.

A total of 47 papers were presented in the sessions entitled “Functional Materials: Theory and Fundamental Properties” and “Nanotechnology and Its Applications in Optoelectronic Devices”.

The discussions highlighted the widespread applications of functional materials and nanotechnology in renewable energy, microelectronics and optoelectronics, sensor technologies, medical diagnostics, environmental protection and other fields. Research in these areas contributes to the development of more efficient solar cells, highly sensitive sensors, long-lasting energy sources and flexible electronic devices.

Given the interdisciplinary nature of this field, particular emphasis was placed on the importance of collaboration among specialists in physics, chemistry, materials science and engineering, as well as the expansion of international scientific cooperation.
