Financial entity: Agencia Estatal de Investigación. Sistema de I+D+i orientada a los retos de la sociedad. Total budget: 417.450€; Budget to our Group: 344.850€.
Duration: 2021-2025
Principal Investigator: Prof. Jordi Sort, Dr. Eva Pellicer
Personnel involved: All the group
Name of the project: MAGYTECH

MAGYTECH is a highly inter-disciplinary project whose primary goal is the use of new magnetoelectric materials and actuation protocols to boost energy efficiency in three technological domains: (i) data storage systems (by inducing a reduction of coercivity or, ultimately, ON-OFF magnetic transitions), (ii) tissue engineering (to promote cellular proliferation, differentiation and gene expression) based on the magnetoelectric stimulation of bone and muscle cells or neurons and (iii) magneto-electrocatalytic generation of hydrogen (and oxygen) as a green energy vector.

Energy-efficient and robust magneto-ionic memory device with neuromorphic functionalities (NEURO-MAG)

Written on 20 April 2021. Posted in Projects.

Financial entity: Agencia Estatal de Investigación. Prueba de Concepto 2021. Total budget: 149.500€; Budget to our Group: 126.500€.

Duration: 2021-2023

Principal Investigator: Prof. Jordi Sort

Personnel involved: Monalisha Peda, Christina Stefani, Eva Pellicer, Enric Menéndez, Jordi Sort

Name of the project: NEURO-MAG

The Proof of Concept (PoC) project NEURO-MAG aims to develop a new type of magnetic memory device with outstanding energy efficiency and unique data protection characteristics (i.e., with anti-hacking and anti-counterfeiting properties), able to be integrated in two types of applications: (i) smart cards (to secure data in e.g. credit or ID cards), (ii) USB memory sticks (as security locks to protect access to the data stored in a computer or server).
