A collaborative group of researchers achieve light phase modulation with a footprint 30 times smaller than the light wavelength.

Jon Zubeltzu, Pre-doctoral Researcher at the Theory Group at CIC nanoGUNE, received his PhD at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) after the defense of his thesis project on 5 June 2017. His research work, entitled “Theoretical Simulations of Nanoconfined Water", has been developed under the supervision of Prof. Emilio Artacho, Theory group leader.

Bi erakundeek konpromisoa hartu dute tokiko enpresei nanoGUNEk sortutako ezagutza helarazteko nahiz, programa espezifikoaren bitartez, ekimen ekintzaileak babesteko nanoteknologiaren arloan. Hitzarmenaren bidez, nanoGUNE Connecting Talent estrategiaren esparruan lan egingo duten erakundeen sarera sartuko da. Estrategia horrek ibilbideak sortzen ditu gazte kualifikatuentzat lan-aukerak garatzeko, tokiko talentuarentzat lehen lan-aukerak sortuaz, edota ikerketa-alor horretan prestakuntza altua duten eta atzerrian lanean ari diren donostiarrak erakarriaz. Horrez gain, nanoGUNEk bat egin du Bono Teknologikoen programarekin, eta programa horren bitartez enpresek eta ekintzaileek ikerketa-zentro horretan garatutako ezagutzaren transferentzia teknologikoa eskura dezakete.

A collaborative work published in Science shows how electrons surf the waves of light on graphene.

Ikertzaile talde batek superelastikotasun-propietateak aztertu dituzte eskala nanometrikoan, aleazio batez egindako zutabeak dimentsio nanometrikoetaraino zizelkatuz.

Mário Ribeiro, Pre-doctoral Researcher at the Nanodevices Group at CIC nanoGUNE, received his PhD at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) after the defense of his thesis project on 30 May 2017. His research work, entitled “Electronic and spintronic devices using two-dimensional materials", has been developed under the supervision of Dr. Luis Hueso (Nanodevices group leader) and Dr. Felix Casanova (Nanodevices group coleader).

Materials for second-generation information and communication technology applications should be as small and as fast as possible. It is precisely these kind of materials that Ikerbasque Prof. Luis Hueso, head of the Nanodevices Group at nanoGUNE is seeking for, together with his colleagues Mirko Cinchetti  (TU Dortmund) and Alek Dediu (Istituto per lo Studio dei Materiali Nanostrutturati in Bologna). In a progress article published in Nature Materials, the three experts in molecular spintronics give an overview of the developments in this relatively new research field.

‘Severo Ochoa’ eta ‘María de Maeztu’ sariak ematen dizkie Estatuko Ikerketa Agentziak nazioartean eragina eta garrantzia duten emaitzengatik nabarmentzen diren ikerketa-zentro eta -unitateei.

2016ean "Dayanne y Murillo. Nanozientziaren indarra" aurkeztu ondoren, nanoKOMIK 2017 proiektua aurkeztu dugu Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC)-arekin batera antolatua, eta Zientzia eta Teknologiarako Espainiako Fundazioa (FECYT) - Ekonomia, Industria eta Lehiakortasun Ministerioaren laguntzarekin,  nanofikziozko komiki parte-hartzaile bat sortzeko asmoz. 

In a recent article published in Physical Review Letters (PRL 118, 117202 (2017)), researchers from the Nanomagnetism group at nanoGUNE reported so-far unknown anomalies near dynamic phase transitions (DPTs). Such anomalies do not exist in corresponding thermodynamic phase transitions (TPTs), and thus, they constitute a distinct difference between DPTs and TPTs, even though their equivalency was the key outcome of more than two decades of research by many groups around the globe.
