Study identifies extensive set of novel 2D materials
14-Mar-2022
Two-dimensional (2D) materials possess extraordinary properties. They usually consist of atomic layers that are only a few nanometers thick and are particularly good at conducting heat and electricity, for instance. To the astonishment of many scientists, it recently became known that 2D ...
Nanowires under tension create the basis for ultrafast transistors
09-Feb-2022
Smaller chips, faster computers, less energy consumption. Novel concepts based on semiconductor nanowires are expected to make transistors in microelectronic circuits better and more efficient. Electron mobility plays a key role in this: The faster electrons can accelerate in these tiny wires, ...
Prototype already in use
12-Nov-2021
The exact angular alignment of sample materials for the determination of their physical properties under extreme conditions is often difficult. Engineer Stefan Findeisen and physicist Dr. Hannes Kühne from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have developed the "Rotax", a filigree ...
New concept for improved battery recycling
09-Nov-2021
Efficiently recycling batteries and reintegrating the recovered materials into production is still an apparently unsolvable problem for industry. That's why researchers around the world are looking for new approaches. One of them is Anna Vanderbruggen. The PhD student at the Helmholtz Institute ...
New study clarifies fundamental puzzle about topological insulators
25-Oct-2021
They are considered to be highly interesting materials for the electronics of the future: topological insulators conduct electricity in a special way and promise novel circuits and faster mobile communications. A research team from Germany, Spain and Russia, led by the Helmholtz Centre ...
Improved electrolyte formulation increase the power efficiency to nearly 100 percent
17-Sep-2021
Climate protection means increasingly turning to renewable energies. But in order to store the energy produced by solar, wind and other regenerative processes, sophisticated systems are required. Today’s storage options are still too expensive and hardly or even impossible to recycle. Scientists ...
Special heat treatment improves novel magnetic material
08-Apr-2021
Skyrmions – tiny magnetic vortices – are considered promising candidates for tomorrow’s information memory devices which may be able to achieve enormous data storage and processing capacities. A research team led by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has developed a method to grow a ...
New approach facilitates the control of reversible conductivity in semiconductors
17-Nov-2020
The semiconductor gallium oxide is thought to be a promising candidate for potential use in power electronics. So far, however, a number of obstacles have stood in its path, especially how to specifically influence the material’s electrical conductivity. In a study published in the journal ...
For tomorrow’s computers
21-Oct-2020
Effects at the interface between magnetic and non-magnetic layers have been exploited for data storage for three decades. This has led to a steady increase in hard drive storage capacity and is one reason why researchers see potential for ushering data processing into a new era. One way these ...
Researchers conduct experiments to demonstrate inertial motion in magnetic materials: Groundwork for ultra-fast data storage
09-Oct-2020
In the journal Nature Physics, an international team of scientists from Germany, Italy, Sweden, and France report on their experimental observation of an inertial effect of electron spins in magnetic materials, which had previously been predicted, but difficult to demonstrate. The results are the ...
