International patent (PTC/EP2011005607, US20130223467,…) protects the invention of the first laser, which in contrary with previous lasers, emits light in all directions, and is therefore referred to as 3D laser. Because of this unprecedented property the 3D laser is useful for a variety of applications, including flat screens, optical telecommunication, microscopy and sensing. There is a large interest for the 3D laser from venture capitalists and companies. We are also continuing the development for industrial applications. The invention of the 3D laser was also very interesting for the general public and the news reached more than 40 million readers throughout the world.

COBISS.SI-ID: 24447015US patent was granted for innovative method of counting of aerosol nanoparticles. The method is based on capacitive sensor and provides for detection of aerosol particles in a wide scope of their presence in the air and is not specific for any shape or chemical composition of nanoparticles and can be therefore widely used in the production of aerosol sensors.

COBISS.SI-ID: 29133607EU patent was granted for the invention of a process for the synthesis of nanotubes of transition metal dichalcogenides, of fullerene-like nanostructures of transition metal dichalcogenides, of nanotubes filled with these nanostructures, of nanostructures of transition metal oxides and of quasi one-dimensional structures, consisting of fine crystallites of transition metal dichalcogenides. With this process larger quantities of these new nanomaterials can be produced, which can be potentially used in the new generation of transistors.

US patent was granted for a method for diagnosing the operation of a photometric particle analyzer. The method may determine when the operation is degraded from normal operating conditions, automatically, and the result displayed locally as well as being transmitted to a remote observer. The method is used in the new generation of photometric analyzers and was presented at several scientific conferences and to general public.
