After years of work, persistence, and belief in an idea that once felt impossible, we’re excited to share our concept; an approach that we believe can shift the paradigm of multiphoton microscopy.

As we progress with our Fastcomet, it is time to share our new updates. This time with a cool video. A special highlight is explaining the intricacies of the topic to young students.

From 💩 to 🔬 brilliance – classic Prof. Hofkens!
Incredible time at #ICP2025. Engaging talks, deep photochemistry, the best poster @DebroyeG, and plenty of laughs. Science at its most creative and collaborative!

At the DYNANOINT workshop in Finland earlier this week. Nice to meet Hannu Hakkinen, Stacy Copp, Cathleen Crudden and Xie JianPing.

[4for2 @4for2pathfinder]

Our project was presented at the 3rd National Meeting of the Swedish Chemical Society (SCS2025)! We’ve enjoyed some fantastic talks over the past few days in an incredible venue in Västerås!

[4for2 @4for2pathfinder]

We have a very special guest to our meeting this afternoon: insightful discussions and exchanging impressions with @FeringaLab!

@HofkensLab @LabPischel

[Hofkens Lab @HofkensLab]

Its always a pleasure hosting Ben Feringa. This time for @4for2pathfinder. Ending with an amazing in-house BBQ and Belgian beer.

[4for2 @4for2pathfinder]

It’s that magical time of the year… time for our annual IRL meeting! @HofkensLab is in charge of the organisation this year, and our teams are starting to arrive in Neerijse 🇧🇪

@FurukawaG_Kyoto @aklymchenko No surprise!

[Andrey Klymchenko 🇺🇦 @aklymchenko]

My first time visit to Japan started with visit of my good old friend @FurukawaG_Kyoto, Prof. at the @iCeMS_KU_INTL. Unbelievable experience to meet brilliant colleagues, present and discuss our research and try authentic food and drinks from Kyoto! Thank you so much, Shuhei!
