First Experimental Demonstration of Antiskyrmions: 3 Questions for Nikolai Kiselev

Tiny magnetic vortex structures in materials, called skyrmions, were first detected experimentally a good 10 years ago. Today, they form a basis for innovative concepts in information processing with better performance and less energy consumption. Jülich theoretical physicist Dr. Nikolai Kiselev, a researcher at the Peter Grünberg Institute and the Institute for Advanced Simulations, is part of the team that succeeded in making this discovery and here explains its significance.

PICO 2024

The Eighth Conference on Frontiers of Aberration Corrected Electron Microscopy, will be held in spring 2024 as an on-site event. We will again address recent advances in methods and applications for the study of solids in condensed matter research and the life sciences by the application of advanced electron microscopy techniques. The conference will be held at Kasteel Vaalsbroek, located at the border of the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium from 21st to 25th of April, 2024. Topical issues of advanced electron microscopy research will be highlighted in ca. 50 keynote presentations given by leading invited speakers.

ER-C 2.0

As part of the programme to promote structural change in the Rhineland, the Ernst Ruska-Centre at Forschungs- zentrum Jülich is to be strategically expanded within the framework of the ER-C 2.0 project, and as a national research infrastructure for high-resolution electron microscopy, will create characterisation capabilities that are unparalleled world- wide. With its unique profile, the Rhineland is thus set to become Germany's most attractive region for the establishment of new materials technologies.
