The world of microwave power researchers and professionals has just met at the 57th Annual Microwave Power Symposium (IMPI 57) in Denver, Colorado, featuring several technical sessions and a rich exhibiting space that created a perfect environment for lively exchange of ideas and to meet new and old friends. During the session “Solid State Applications” we have shown the outcome of one of our experiences with nanotechnology applications and described our commitment to a better world thanks to careful and sustainable use of solid-state microwave technology. Many thanks again to all the nice friends that stopped by our booth and to the interested attendees of our presentation, looking forward to the 58th edition that will take place next year in Washington DC!
