Group works toward devising topological superconductor

Researchers have proposed a topological superconductor made from an ultrathin transition metal dichalcogenide that is a step toward quantum computing.

'Neuron-reading' nanowires could accelerate development of drugs for neurological diseases

The new nanowire technology could one day serve as a platform to screen drugs for neurological diseases and could enable researchers to better understand how single cells communicate in large neuronal networks.

Microprocessors based on a layer of just 3 atoms

Microprocessors based on atomically thin materials hold the promise of the evolution of traditional processors as well as new applications in the field of flexible electronics.

Silver circuits on foil allow curved touchscreens

Until now, different conductive paths had to be manufactured in several steps in time-consuming processes. With photochemical metallization this is now possible in one single step on flexible substrates.

Triple treatment for heat-exchangers: New nano-coatings have an anti-adhesive, anti-corrosive and antimicrobial effect

Newly developed nanocoatings reduce the effort required for cleaning heat exchangers as well as their corrosion. These new coatings combine antiadhesive, anticorrosive and, on demand, also antimicrobial properties.
