Girls’ Day at AMO leaves a lasting impression on 11 young girls

Today, 11 interested and motivated girls visited AMO to get to know the heart of the Aachen-based research company: the so-called cleanroom. Here, they were able to look over the shoulders of AMO researchers and perhaps understand a little better how the boundaries between physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine become blurred in these small dimensions […]

Nanodiag BW: towards a new generation of biosensors based on nanopores

Nanopores are channels with molecular dimensions. Used in biosensors, they can be used to characterize and distinguish individual molecules. The Cluster nanodiag BW has received major funding from the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research within the “Cluster4Future” initiative, with the goal of advancing nanopore technology for identifying epigenetic factors that influence diseases. AMO […]

Intelligence at the edge (i-EDGE): €4.5M project to build hardware platform for edge computing using nanomechanical relays

A consortium from industry and academia has been awarded €4.5M by the EU, UK and Switzerland to build a next-generation hardware platform for edge computing using nanomechanical relays. Computing at the edge of the network instead of transferring data to the cloud for processing can greatly improve efficiency, improve data security and reduce energy consumption. […]
