Magnetoelectrics beyond 2020: a training programme on energy-efficient magnetoelectric nanomaterials for advanced information and healthcare technologies (BeMAGIC)

Voltage-Reconfigurable Magnetic Invisibility: A New Concept for Data Security Based on Engineered Magnetoelectric Materials (ERC-AdG, REMINDS)
With the advent of Big Data, information is facing new, potentially more damaging, security threats. The current trend to enhance data protection is to use increasingly complex mathematical algorithms to encrypt information.

Magnetoelectric and magnetoionic effects stimulated by light
The projects aims to control magnetoelectric and magnetoionic effects by light.

Biofilm-resistant materials for hard tissue implant Applications (Bioremia)
BIOREMIA provides top-level multidisciplinary skills to 15 Early-Stage Researchers through an ambitious research and training programme in the area of biofilm-resistant materials for bone-related implant applications.

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.

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