AMO will host the workshop “Sensing with graphene and 2-dimensional materials” taking place at Forum M in the city center of Aachen, Germany from November 5-6, 2018. This workshop is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). For more detailed information please refer to the attached Flyer_Sensor_Workshop_2018.
Researchers of AMO GmbH and RWTH Aachen University as well as their colleagues developed an experimental method for proper visualization of graphene grain boundaries. The work was conducted in collaboration between AMO GmbH, RWTH Aachen University, the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) Stockholm and Chemnitz University of Technology.
Researchers at AMO GmbH have used Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology’s fabrication solutions to develop a graphene based photonics device capable of operating at a data rate of 25 Gb/s per channel. These devices convert optical modulation data into electrical signals that are compatible with electronics-based IT systems, unlocking data streams at ultrafast speeds and large bandwidths, thus becoming a key enabler for the next generation of mobile communication.
AMO GmbH and RWTH Aachen University in cooperation with six further research institutes and companies (University of the Bundeswehr Munich, Trinity College, University of Siegen, Infineon Technologies AG, University of Leipzig, TU Dresden and Helmholtz Center Dresden) attained first results of the electromechanical properties of the recently discovered 2D material platinum diselenide. The results of these research activities are described in the paper “Highly sensitive electromechanical piezoresistive pressure sensors based on large-area layered PtSe2 films” recently been published in ACS Nano letters.
The Graphene Flagship just recently disseminates its annual report which summarizes the achievements and key results of its scientific work packages.
Traditionally, AMO gathered for a cherry blossom picture in front of the AMO building looking together into a properous future with confidence.
AMO has been supporting young scientists for many years and already gives students the opportunity to get an idea of the future occupational field of nanotechnology on site.
Last week a group of students of the Gustav Heinemann comprehensive school from Alsdorf near Aachen visited AMO with a total of 30 students.

AMO GmbH contributed again this year at NIL Industrial Day with a conference presentation as well as an exhibition booth.
New results on Graphene Nanoribbons are presented in the paper “Field-Effect Transistors Based on Networks of Highly Aligned, Chemically Synthesized N = 7 Armchair Graphene Nanoribbons”, a collaboration between AMO, RWTH Aachen University, University of Cologne and UC Berkeley. The work has recently been published in ACS Applied Materials Interfaces.
The Graphene Flagship returns to the Mobile World Congress, bringing with it the next generation of mobile technologies. Step into the Graphene Pavilion and enter the fascinating world of graphene and related materials in an exhibition designed to bring these materials to life. Discover how they can be made in the large-scale in the Graphene Knowledge Centre and experience cutting-edge new technologies, with interactive demonstrations in Sensors and IoT, Wearables and Health, Datacom and Energy. AMO and RWTH Aachen University will present ultrafast graphene based photodetectors and fully flexible logic and RF circuits for future 5G and IoT applications.
