The 8th International Conference on Advanced Nanoparticle Generation and Excitation by Lasers in Liquids (ANGEL)

Castellón, Spain

May 24th – 28th, 2026

VIEW PHOTO-GALLERY

ANGEL is the main international conference dedicated to the synthesis of nanoparticles and nanomaterials via laser ablation and processing in liquid environments. It brings together researchers involved in experimental, theoretical, and computational investigations in the broad field of laser–materials interactions in liquids. A hallmark of ANGEL meetings is the strong international participation and the dynamic interdisciplinary dialogue they foster. The conference offers a platform for presenting both application-oriented research and fundamental studies related to the mechanisms of laser synthesis and processing of nanoparticles, as well as the use of laser-generated particles in catalysis, energy conversion, additive manufacturing, or optics.


ANGEL 2026 will be held from 24th to 28th of May in Castellón, Spain, welcoming the international laser processing in liquid community to join a lively scientific event promoting scientific discussion at the Intelier Orange hotel presentation hall and recreation areas with your peers,  offering special reduced accommodation rates and including lunch and gala dinner within the registration costs. Submit your abstract, register before the early bird date on April 3rd and join the laser processing in liquid community in a unique landscape

Conference Topics

The conference provides a forum for sharing the results of experimental, theoretical, and computational investigations in the general area of laser-materials interaction in liquids. The topics of the conference include, but are not limited to:

Fundamentals of laser-material interactions in liquids
  • Experimental spatial and temporal-resolved probing 
  • Simulation and modelling of laser-material interaction in liquid and nanoparticle formation
  • Defect, size, and ligand engineering on nanoparticle electron-phonon, optical and chemical response
  • Laser-mater in liquid process engineering for production upscale
Developments in laser-based nanoparticle synthesis and processing in liquids:
  • Laser ablation of bulk targets, thin films and multilayered materials
  • Laser melting and fragmentation of nanoparticles and microparticles
  • Laser reductive particle synthesis
  • Novel materials such as high entropy alloys, max phases, or integration of nanoparticles in advanced nanocomposite materials
Applications of laser-generated nanoparticles and nanocomposites including but not limited to: 
  • Catalysis
  • Energy conversion
  • Additive manufacturing
  • Biomedicine
  • Sensing
  • Optics
