Advancements in vacuum technology are driving innovations in measurement techniques, gas analysis, pumping systems, and large-scale applications such as accelerators, interferometers, and vacuum fusion plants. Focus areas include gas flow studies at microscale and low pressures, particularly in low-permeability porous materials for filtration and flow control. New methods for accurately measuring gas permeability and theoretical models based on gas kinetic theory will be presented. Additionally, quantum-based standards for vacuum science, leveraging the redefinition of SI units, will be examined. Emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Additive Manufacturing (AM) will also be explored for their potential to enhance vacuum systems and processes

The energy transition is at the forefront of global efforts to combat climate change and achieve sustainable energy systems. This session will explore cutting-edge technologies and innovations in renewable energy production, including solar, wind, and geothermal power, as well as emerging solutions like hydrogen fuel and bioenergy. Focus will also be given to advancements in energy storage, such as next-generation batteries and electrochemical systems, which are critical for balancing intermittent renewable sources. Techniques for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) will be discussed, with particular emphasis on their role in reducing industrial emissions. Additionally, novel methods for electrochemical fixation of CO2 will be examined. The session will highlight the integration of these technologies into systems that aim to reduce overall power consumption, increase energy efficiency, and address the environmental impact of energy production and consumption.

Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is rapidly expanding its reach across various industries. Its versatility in handling a wide range of materials, from fine powders to viscous liquids and from polymers to metals, enables the fabrication of prototypes at diverse scales. This adaptability has made AM an invaluable tool for rapid prototyping and iterative design processes. Beyond traditional prototyping, AM is increasingly used to create functional prototypes. Additionally, the development of new materials enabled the possibility to produce parts that can actively respond to external stimuli, opening-up new unexplored possibilities. In this context, this session aims at disseminating the most recent advances and the innovations in additive manufacturing and smart fabrication.

This session represents a dissemination event of the Orangees project
The ORANGEES (ORgANics for Green Electrochemical Energy Storage) project activity is aimed at the synthesis, characterization and validation of innovative, eco-sustainable and low-cost materials for application in electrochemical storage (SAE) systems, such as batteries and supercapacitors (SC).
The activities concern the study of both hybrid (inorganic/organic) and purely organic materials, isolating among them those obtained from waste compounds (e.g., Biomass), with the idea of progressively increasing the degree of environmental sustainability of the proposed solutions from which storage technologies will benefit in the medium to long term
