Projects (selection)
Magneto-ionic data-security device integrated on flexible substrates (ERC-PoC, SECURE-FLEXIMAG)
The ERC-funded SECURE-FLEXIMAG project aims to enhance data security and promote technology transfer through research in magneto-ionics using rigid and flexible substrates
Voltage-Reconfigurable Magnetic Invisibility: A New Concept for Data Security Based on Engineered Magnetoelectric Materials (ERC-AdG, REMINDS)
REMINDS proposes a new concept to boost data security: to act directly at material level, in the way information is stored. The project is built on the disruptive idea of using voltage to activate/deactivate magnetism via strain or ion migration effects and it tackles novel strategies to control the mutual interactions between ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic and ferroelectric materials.
Enabling magneto-ionics for information technologies: secure and energy-efficient data storage and advanced computing (MAG-IONICS)
This Project aims to extend the use of magneto-ionic actuation for advanced memory and computing concepts, including applications in data security.
Magnetoelectric and magnetoionic effects stimulated by light
The projects aims to control magnetoelectric and magnetoionic effects by light.
Fostering the next generation of talented young researchers in novel materials, innovative strategies and energy solutions (PHYNEST)
PHYNEST is a Horizon Europe MSCA COFUND doctoral programme coordinated by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. It is designed to nurture the next generation of scientific leaders in physics and materials science, who are committed to finding sustainable energy solutions for a greener future.
A Training Programme on 5R's Implementation in Micro and Nanorobotic Design, Manufacturing, and Application (GREENS)
The project aims to revolutionize the field of micro/nanorobotic technologies by integrating the 5Rs principle (Reduce, Recycle, Rethink, Repair, and Reuse) into every stage of design, fabrication, and application.
Ni-based ferromagnetic coatings with enhanced efficiency to replace Pt in energy and digital storage applications (Nickeffect)
NICKEFFECT, a new project co-funded by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe programme, aims to develop novel ferromagnetic Ni-based coating materials to replace the scarce and costly Platinum and ensure high efficiency in key applications.
Advanced magnetoelectric procedures for energy efficient and sustainable technologies (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.
Magnetoelectrics beyond 2020: a training programme on energy-efficient magnetoelectric nanomaterials for advanced information and healthcare technologies (BeMAGIC)
