This new technology is behind memory applications such as computer hard disks.
The research proved that fully crystalline nanodiamonds can be stable down to ~ 1 nm despite some theoretical predictions. This opens a range of possibilities for studying quantum phenomena in the diamond.
Department of Functional Materials designed and successfully applied protection of zirconium alloy surface using a layer of chemically vapour deposited polycrystalline diamond.
Neutrinos, the most common particles in the Universe, we still know a little about them. They are the subject of research of NOvA experiment.
Currently, the Academy of Europe has about 3000 members from the physical sciences and technology, biological sciences and medicine, mathematics, humanities, social and cognitive sciences, economics and the law. Besides Tomas Jungwirth, Czech Republic has two other members of this section (Jiří Bičák a Pavel Exner).
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.
A book Essentials of Econophysics Modelling from Dr František Slanina is a course in methods and models rooted in physics and used in modelling economic and social phenomena. It covers the discipline of econophysics, which creates an interface between physics and economics.
In order to shake a magnet electrically without involving an electro-magnet or another permanent magnet, one has to step out of the realm of classical physics and enter the relativistic quantum mechanics. Researchers from the Institute of Physics, in collaboration with researchers from Cambridge, Nottingham, and Mainz, have discovered a new physical phenomenon that allows manipulating the state of a magnet by electric fields.
