Mikel Quintana receives the Extraordinary Doctorate Award 2024
Mikel Quintana, researcher in the Nanomagnetism group at CIC nanoGUNE, has been awarded with the Extraordinary Doctorate Award 2024 in the area of Sciences of the UPV/EHU for his thesis Phase Transitions in Nanoscale Designed Magnetic Thin Films.
Transforming Digital Technologies through the SPEAR ITN project
SPEAR ITN project (Spin-orbit Materials, Emergent Phenomena and Related Technologies Training), coordinated by CIC nanoGUNE, is a multidisciplinary European network training a new generation of highly skilled researchers able to address future memory technologies and nanoelectronics beyond CMOS.
Quantum hardware to be developed at CIC nanoGUNE
The Basque nanoscience research center opens a new group for the development of quantum hardware.
A new tower will be built, which will be housing the laboratories of the new group and also a leading scale-up company in quantum technologies.
NanoGUNE will be developing in San Sebastian chips for the construction of quantum computers based on semiconductor technology.
Summer’24 interns are here!
Twelve undergraduate students join nanoGUNE's Summer Internship Program.
nanoGUNE joins Pint of Science Donostia 2024
The international scientific dissemination festival will take place from 13 to 15 May in 25 different countries all over the world, where city-bars become improvised laboratories to showcase the latest scientific advances. Three researchers from CIC nanoGUNE, Javier Plou, Jon Ortuzar Andres and Stefano Trivini, will be part of the festival this year, in which nanoGUNE is also involved as local sponsor.
Research positions and industry, hand in hand
CIC nanoGUNE launches a call —Industry Collaborative Research Positions— which seeks to facilitate the technological development of Basque companies so that they can provide innovative solutions to their industrial challenges thanks to the incorporation of highly qualified researchers.
Electrical control of magnetism by electric field and current-induced torques
In a recent review article published in Reviews of Modern Physics, Fèlix Casanova from the Nanodevices group at CIC nanoGUNE, Prof. Albert Fert, Nobel Prize in Physics, and his colleagues review the state of the art of electrical control of magnetism and give scientific and technological future persperctives.
The building block for magnetoelectric spin-orbit logic
In a recent article published in Nature Communications an international team, led by researchers from the Nanodevices group at CIC nanoGUNE, suceeded in voltage-based magnetization switching and reading of magnetoelectric spin-orbit nanodevices. This study constitutes aproof of principle of these nanodevices, which are the building blocks for magnetoelectric spin-orbit (MESO) logic, opening a new avenue for low-power beyond-CMOS technologies.
Developing nanomaterials to conserve cultural heritage
Aranzazu Sierra-Fernández, PhD in Materials Science and Engineering, has received the Junior Leader postdoctoral fellowship from the "la Caixa" Foundation to pursue a line of research in the Nanomaterials group of CIC nanoGUNE focusing on the study of new methodologies to conserve cultural heritage. The project sets out to develop protective coatings for the conservation of cultural assets, with an emphasis on strength, toughness, durability and compatibility with building materials.
