Welcome to the web page of the 7th International Conference on Advanced Nanoparticle Generation and Excitation by Lasers in Liquids (ANGEL). At the end of May of 2024, ANGEL made its debut in the United States. The conference brought together 92 participants from 14 countries and 4 continents, who joined scientific discussions of fundamental mechanisms and practical aspects of laser synthesis and processing of nanoparticles, as well as the utilization of laser-generated particles in catalysis, energy conversion, additive manufacturing, and optics. The conference continued the tradition initiated at the 2010 Conference in Engelberg, Switzerland, and strengthened at successive meetings in Taormina (Sicily, Italy) in 2012, Matsuyama-shi (Japan) in 2014, Essen (Germany) in 2016, Lyon (France) in 2018, and Hefei (China) in 2021.

The program included a pre-conference tutorial and 4 days of oral and poster sessions. Conference participants are invited to contribute to Special Issues of the of Physical Chemistry C and Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology.
