The research community is intensively searching for new materials, hopefully showing superconductivity under ambient conditions, which would solve many of the most pressing problems of the current era of information technology. For a target-oriented search of such materials, the electron properties of the basic constituents of Hund’s metals need to be understood in detail, and this requirement was lacking so far.
New measuring method overcomes the insufficiency of previous Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM). Thus it significantly advances our current possibilities to study the charge transfer at the atomic level.
Recent developments in scanning microscopy enable us to resolve the chemical structure of individual molecules deposited on surfaces.
CTA is a world-wide project for high-energy gamma-ray detection. More than a thousand scientists from 170 institutions work together to build the observatory for the wide astrophysical community.
The aim of the project is to calculate the physical properties of the exciton condensate under various conditions, identify those with application potential, and propose materials where they can be realized.
HiLASE turns into technologically advanced Centre of Excellence, aimed at serving a broad scientific and industrial laser user community It will drive new laser-based applications in industry, such as advanced material treatments and energy production.
This new technology is behind memory applications such as computer hard disks.
Efficient spin-charge and charge-spin converters are needed for future technologies allowing to integrate the so far isolated worlds of semiconductor and magnetic devices.
The unique status of the FUNBIO centre in a present academic sphere lays not only in the topmost technical equipment but mainly in very specific, useful and nowadays frequently required physical view on biomaterials.
