News and Events

From Skyrmions to Hopfions

Scientists from Jülich, China and Sweden have created and observed for the first time nanoscale 3D magnetic rings in a crystal, as they report in the scientific journal Nature. Their discovery may lead to next generation data storages and neuromorphic computers of the future.

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.

impress
