The three-year ASCIMAT project is aimed at improving scientific excellence and innovation capacity in the field of scintillation materials through targeted and coordinated cooperation with highly qualified partner facilities.
New theoretical and experimental research whose aim is to connect two distinct fields of organic semiconductors and of spintronics. Organic semiconductors already play an important role in optoelectronics, e.g., in the development of flexible screens and solar cells.
The Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina examines high-energy cosmic rays. According to new findings, these cosmic particles are created in distant extragalactic objects.
The project team includes 12 institutes from 5 countries and is led by the University of Geneva. A telescope is proposed to cover the high end of CTA's observatory energy range.
Polycrystalic diamond layers significantly reduce corrosion of standard and accident conditions of a nuclear reactor.
Single-molecule circuits have remarkable electron transport properties and represent the frontier of miniaturization of electronics.
A successful project concerning the development of direction towards ultrafast and energy-efficient memories was selected in a fierce competition within the Future and Emerging Technologies.
State-of-the-art scanning-probe microscopes already enable scientists to resolve individual atoms on solid-state surfaces. The new method also allows measuring the electronegativity of these atoms. Such new findings could allow control of chemical reactions in catalysis or biochemistry.
In just three years, HAPLS went from concept to a fully integrated and record-breaking product. HAPLS represents a new generation of application-enabling diode-pumped, high-energy and high-peak-power laser systems with innovative technologies.
