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 […]

An event for neuro-inspired hardware at Forschungszentrum Jülich

The Cluster4Future NeuroSys and the project NEUROTEC have invited about 200 guests from science, industry and politics to Forschungszentrum Jülich on 30 August 2023, to discuss the potential of neuro-inspired hardware for artificial intelligence and to present the current state of development in the field of neuromorphic computing in the Aachen-Jülich region.

Novel pinholes for interference lithography

Researchers at AMO GmbH and the Chair of Electronic Devices at RWTH Aachen University have implemented a novel class of pinholes to increase the spatial uniformity of laser beams and demonstrated their efficiency in improving the quality of laser interference lithography gratings. Laser interference lithography is a cost-effective nanofabrication technique widely used in semiconductor manufacturing […]

Nanoengineered photocatalytic surfaces for wastewater treatment

Researchers from AMO GmbH and RWTH Aachen University have demonstrated an ingenious method to enhance the efficiency photocatalytic processes for wastewater treatment. The research has been reported in ACS Applied Nano Materials. Water supply is becoming a major challenge in many areas of the world, calling for novel solutions for wastewater treatment and reuse. One […]
