Two inspiring days on 2D materials

More than 100 participants attended the workshop “2D Materials for Future Electronics” organized by AMO GmbH in cooperation with the Aachen Graphene & 2D Materials Center, the RWTH Aachen and the University of Wuppertal on February 19 and 20 in Aachen, Germany. The aim of the workshop was to discuss the opportunities offered by 2D […]

schematics of the fabrication process of the flexible strain sensors and of their possible applications.

Towards self-healing flexible strain sensors based on graphene ink

Advanced applications such as smart patches and electronic skin have created the need for strain sensors that are not only sensitive and flexible, but also skin- and eco-friendly, and ideally self-healing, i.e. able to recover their sensing performance after damage.  A successful strategy for implementing self-healing strain sensors is to combine a polymer with good […]

Program ‘NRW Patent Validation’: 2 out of 15 funded projects go to AMO GmbH

AMO GmbH celebrates a double success in the first round of the ‘NRW Patent Validation’ program, with one funded project on green hydrogen production and one on photonic integrated chips for artificial intelligence.

Kick-off meeting of the project 2D-ENGINE

The project 2D-ENGINE had its kick-off meeting on December 5, 2023, in a virtual and very effective form. The goal of the project is to synthesize novel two-dimensional (2D) materials that do not exist in nature in the bulk form, and to test their potential for various applications – from nanoscaled transistors, to waveguide-integrated LEDs […]
