Bridging superconductor and semiconductor technology for future supercomputers
The just launched SuperGate project aims at creating an interface between superconductors and semiconductors. It is based on a path-breaking discovery by CnrNano’s research team.
New insight in the design of nano-porous graphene scaffolds
CnrNano scientists set up a strategy to design and build, via computer simulation, graphene scaffold with predetermined density and porosity. Results are published on Nanotechnology – IOP Publishing.
The first molecular tool to visualize genetic mosaics in cells in vivo
It is called Beatrix and will allow to study the genetic mosaicism typical of neurological and oncological diseases. It has been developed by Cnr Nano and Scuola Normale Superiore researchers, its first results are published in Nature Communications.
Optically-programmed ‘smart label’ based on nano-textured non-wovens fibers
Optical nanomaterials with photo-encoded thermal properties might establish new design rules for intelligent labels. A study by Cnr Nano, UniPisa and Scuola Normale Superiore.
A new frontier for the detection of light in semiconductor nanowires
Focusing a terahertz laser onto a scattering near-field optical microscope tip reveals the mechanisms at play in a field effect transistor nanowire when it detects light.
Supercurrent control in a fully suspended superconducting nanobridge
Better understanding of the field effect in superconducting metals, thanks to the study of a supercurrent transistor made up of a suspended nanowire fabricated with an innovative technique at Cnr Nano. Results are published on ACS NANO journal.
Demonstrated a new route for semiconductor spintronics that can filter single electrons according to their spins in quantum electronic devices. The research results are published on Communication Physics.
Cnr Nano’s team realizes the first phase battery for quantum technologies
A classical battery converts chemical energy into a voltage bias that can power electronic circuits. Similarly, a phase battery is a quantum device that provides a persistent phase bias to the wave function of a quantum circuit. This key element for quantum technologies based on phase coherence as been demonstrated by Francesco Giazotto’s groupand published in Nature Nanotechnology.
Great success for G M. Ratto’s online lessons
Thanks to the Scuola Normale Superiore initiative more than 1300 high-school students had the chance to follow Gian Michele Ratto’s free video lessons on brain functioning and of the advanced techniques to study it.
Excitonic and topological order in T’-MoS2
Research team led by Cnr Nano studied the topological insulator MoS2, using advanced theoretical-computational methodologies based on quantum mechanics.
ERC grant to fund CnrNano project TERASEC
The EU-funded TERASEC project will deliver to the market a novel, incomparable security scanner device of unique performance. It fulfils all regulatory compliances. The scanner uses advanced and harmless THz waves thanks to superconducting and ferromagnetic materials that enable great sensitivity, fast response time and low noise-equivalent power.
