Standing Together Against Racism
March 21 has been declared International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination in 1966, intending to serve as a global call to action for individuals, organizations, and governments at all levels to actively work toward dismantling racial discrimination, injustice, systemic racism, and hate. The date was chosen in memory of the tragic events of […]
ENERGIZE: a joint Korean-EU partnership for energy-efficient neuromorphic hardware
The European Union, South Korea, and Switzerland have jointly launched the ambitious research project ENERGIZE, providing €3.6 million in funding to develop energy-efficient hardware based on two-dimensional (2D) materials for edge computing and artificial intelligence (AI) applications. ENERGIZE is one of the four projects selected through the joint EU-South Korea call in February 2024, focused […]
Workshop announcement: Two exciting days dedicated to “Novel (2D) Materials and their Applications”
AMO is co-organizing an exciting 2-day workshop dedicated to Novel (2D) Materials and their Applications on February 17-18, 2025. Novel materials are the foundation of innovation and the key to solving many global challenges. The workshop – organized by AMO GmbH in collaboration with RWTH Aachen University, the Aachen Graphene & 2D Materials Center and […]
nanovate! #9 is here – Happy Reading!
The latest issue of AMO’s biannual magazine has just been released! This end-of-year edition is dedicated to the Digital Hardware Hub Aachen—a major initiative launched this summer that will shape AMO’s future for the next decades. Inside, we also dive into the newly started NEPOMUQ project, which focuses on exploring novel perovskites with nonlinear optical […]
NEPOMUQ: Development of integrated optoelectronic modulators based on nonlinear optical perovskites
AMO GmbH and the University of Wuppertal have launched the research project NEPOMUQ (New Perovskite Materials for Integrated Optoelectronic Modulators in Quantum Systems). Over the next three years, novel perovskite materials with strong nonlinear optical properties will be investigated. The aim is to realize integrated optoelectronic modulators that serve as key components for a variety […]
Sputtered aluminum nitride waveguides achieve record low propagation loss in telecom spectrum
A collaboration between AMO GmbH and Fraunhofer IAF demonstrates the potential of sputtered aluminum nitride for photonic applications in the telecom spectrum. Aluminum nitride (AlN) is emerging as an outstanding material for photonic waveguide applications. The best results to date have been achieved with AlN grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), while sputtered […]
Second funding notice for the Digital Hardware Hub Aachen
The Digital Hardware Hub Aachen (DHHA) has secured a second round of funding from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Industry, Climate Protection, and Energy of North Rhine-Westphalia (MWIKE). The ministry has allocated approximately €6.9 million to support the planning of a new research facility at Campus West in Aachen. This new funding follows the recent […]
Inducing and observing reversible phase-transitions in ceria with picometer resolution
Using cutting-edge transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques, researchers from RWTH Aachen University, Forschungszentrum Jülich and AMO GmbH have revealed unprecedented details about the reversible phase transition of ceria – a material that holds huge potential for catalytic applications, energy generation, as well as for memristive devices – showing that this can be precisely manipulated with […]
High-yield fabrication of suspended graphene membranes
Researchers from the Chair for Electronic Devices at RWTH and at AMO GmbH have demonstrated a method for fabricating large-scale arrays of micro cavities sealed by graphene membranes with high yield. High mechanical strength, extreme thinness and exceptional hermeticity make graphene an ideal material for the realisation of micro- and nanoelectromechanical systems based on suspended […]
