• 1,9 million EU grant for Mikhail Eremets from the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry

  Dr. Mikhail Eremets from the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry has been awarded an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council end of October. The sum of € 1.9 million was granted for exploring conductive and metallic hydrogen. In his project, Eremets plans to study molecular hydrogen under e more

• Empa researchers clarify reaction pathway to fabricate graphene-like materials

  Graphene is a promising material for tomorrow’s nanoelectronics devices. Precise and upscaleable methods to fabricate graphene and derived materials with desired electronic properties are however still searched after. To overcome the current limitations, Empa researchers have fabricated graphene-lik more

• Trapping charged particles with laser light

  In the past decades setups for trapping single particles have played a key role in high precision quantum measurements because they allow for an ultimate control of all important experimental parameters. However, up to now scientists had to choose between two alternative strategies: either to captur more
