AMULET at the 56th Heyrovský Discussions: Excellence in Science in the Field of 2D Materials

From June 8–12, 2025, the 56th edition of the Heyrovský Discussions took place at the Renaissance castle in Třešť, a prestigious international conference, this time focused on two-dimensional materials. The AMULET project was strongly represented at this significant scientific meeting thanks to the participation of several researchers involved in its implementation, as well as through the organizing team consisting of Martin Kalbáč, Otakar Frank, Matěj Velický, and Jana Kalbáčová Vejpravová.

The Heyrovský Discussions, organized by the J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences, serve as an exceptional forum for sharing cutting-edge research in the field of physical chemistry and materials science. The AMULET project not only presented its latest results here but also actively contributed to the interdisciplinary dialogue that is at the core of this event with more than half a century of tradition.

Presentations by AMULET researchers

During the conference program, scientists involved in the AMULET project delivered several professional contributions that addressed topics such as exfoliation of 2D materials, optoelectronic properties of hybrid structures, electrochemical behavior of graphene, quantification of defects in MoS₂ monolayers, and possibilities of utilizing the Center for Accelerators and Nuclear Analytical Methods for modification of 2D materials.

AMULET contributes to progress in two-dimensional structure research

Participation in the Heyrovský Discussions confirmed the importance of the AMULET project within interdisciplinary research of two-dimensional materials. The conference provided an ideal opportunity to present results, establish new collaborations, and gain inspiration for further research directions in the field of functionalization, characterization, and integration of 2D structures.

Continuation of scientific tradition

The Heyrovský Discussions have a tradition spanning more than half a century. Their foundations were laid in 1967 by Professor Antonín Vlček, then director of the J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry, who maintained them for 24 years. Subsequently, the organization of these meetings has been alternately taken up by senior scientists of the institute under the auspices of the institution's director.
