Converting solar energy into chemical energy is something where plants excel, and technology still struggles. In the EU-funded project FreeHydroCells, AMO GmbH and partners aim to overcome the limitations of today’s approaches to synthetize hydrogen fuel by solar energy absorption. This could potentially represent a viable, and environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels.

Semiconductors for AI in the Rhineland Territory? This event taking place in Aachen on May 5, 2023 is organized jointly by the agency Zukunftsagentur Rheinisches Revier (Rhineland Territory) together withthe BMBF funded NeuroSys Cluster4Future (Neuromorphic Hardware for Autonomous Artificial Intelligence Systems), coordinated by Prof. Max Lemme, RWTH Aachen University as well as the BMBF funded project NEUROTEC (Neuro-inspired artificial intelligence technologies), coordination Prof. Rainer Waser, Forschungszentrum Jülich.
Just in time for the end of the year, the latest issue of nanovate! is online. The magazine gives an overview of the employees and their successful project work of the past half year.
AMO would like to thank you for the trustful cooperation in the past year and wishes you and your families a merry and peaceful Christmas as well as health and success for 2023! [read more »]
Can quantum mechanics be used to the benefit of consumers in supermarkets and restaurants? AMO GmbH and partners are setting out to demonstrate this in the BMBF-funded project “QSPEC – Quantum sensor for improved detection of authenticity and ingredients of food products”. [read more »]
In order to consolidate and expand the existing microelectronic research and development in Germany regarding quantum and neuro-morphic computing, the FMD launched on December 1, 2022, a joint project together with four other Fraunhofer institutes, the Jülich Forschungszentrum and AMO GmbH: The Research Fab Microelectronics Germany — Module Quantum and Neuromorphic Com-puting (FMD-QNC). The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research is funding the equipment and structural setup required for the project. [read more »]

AMO GmbH and RWTH Aachen University are organizing a workshop on November 21-22, 2022 in Aachen, bringing together experts from academia and industry to discuss recent advances on the integration of novel materials into silicon photonic platforms. [read more »]
The exploration of novel materials for photonics and optoelectronics applications has long since been a major focus of research at AMO. Two classes of materials have attracted in particular attention: two-dimensional (2D) materials and perovskites. So far, most of the research on perovskites at AMO has been conducted by the Nanophotonic Group, but, given the growing relevance of the topic, a new group dedicated to Perovskite Optoelectronics has been funded in 2022. Leader of the new Perovskite Optoelectronics Group is Surendra B. Anantharaman, who has joined AMO in September 2022. [read more »]
One of the challenges encountered by research on novel electronic devices is to compare devices based on different materials in a consistent way. RWTH Professor Max Lemme and colleagues from USA, China, and Belgium have now proposed a set of clear guidelines for benchmarking key parameters and performance metrics of emergent field-effect transistors. The guidelines have been published as a Perspective Article in Nature Electronics. [read more »]
AMO GmbH is cooperating with Forschungszentrum Jülich and RWTH Aachen University scientists, as well as with several companies from the region in two major BMBF-funded project, NEUROTEC and NeuroSys, which have the goal of establishing a technological base for neuro-inspired AI hardware made in Europe. Now, having met at the Jülich-Aachen Neuromorphic Computing Day held at Forschungszentrum Jülich on May 24, 2022, Prof. Reiner Waser and Prof. Max Lemme are sharing an insight into the progress of the projects.
