CTA is a world-wide project for high-energy gamma-ray detection. More than a thousand scientists from 170 institutions work together to build the observatory for the wide astrophysical community.
The aim of the project is to calculate the physical properties of the exciton condensate under various conditions, identify those with application potential, and propose materials where they can be realized.
HiLASE turns into technologically advanced Centre of Excellence, aimed at serving a broad scientific and industrial laser user community It will drive new laser-based applications in industry, such as advanced material treatments and energy production.
This new technology is behind memory applications such as computer hard disks.
Researchers from the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, in collaboration with researchers from Barcelona, Berkeley, and Halle have demonstrated an experimental spin-based microelectronic device using an antiferromagnetic semiconductor compound Sr2IrO4.
New theoretical and experimental research whose aim is to connect two distinct fields of organic semiconductors and of spintronics. Organic semiconductors already play an important role in optoelectronics, e.g., in the development of flexible screens and solar cells.
Currently, the Academy of Europe has about 3000 members from the physical sciences and technology, biological sciences and medicine, mathematics, humanities, social and cognitive sciences, economics and the law. Besides Tomas Jungwirth, Czech Republic has two other members of this section (Jiří Bičák a Pavel Exner).
Efficient spin-charge and charge-spin converters are needed for future technologies allowing to integrate the so far isolated worlds of semiconductor and magnetic devices.
The unique status of the FUNBIO centre in a present academic sphere lays not only in the topmost technical equipment but mainly in very specific, useful and nowadays frequently required physical view on biomaterials.
