Magnetic vortices: Controlling core switching in Pac-man disks

Magnetic vortices in thin films can encode information in the perpendicular magnetization pointing up or down relative to the vortex core. These binary states could be useful for non-volatile data storage devices such as RAM memories, but the switching between them must be fast and energy-efficient.


Innovative nanophotonics: Integrating quantum light sources with nanofibers for quantum internet applications

Integrating quantum light sources e.g. single quantum dot / single atom, into specially designed nanofibers holds the potential to revolutionize distributed quantum networks for secure, ultra-high speed communication.


Getting into your head: Gelatin nanoparticles could deliver drugs to the brain

Stroke victims could have more time to seek treatment that could reduce harmful effects on the brain, thanks to tiny blobs of gelatin that could deliver the medication to the brain noninvasively.
