Read moreNew insight into cryogenic memory for Quantum Technologies
Published: 20. 3. 2026A recently published study in Nature Communications (2025), featured by the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), brings new understanding of how next-generation memory devices operate at cryogenic temperatures. The research focuses on the layered material 1T-TaS₂ and shows how electrical signals can control the stacking of ...
Read moreA nanometer-scale QR code produced at the Nanocenter
Published: 9. 3. 2026At the Nanocenter, we produced a functional QR code that is more than six times smaller than the QR code that currently holds the Guinness World Record for the smallest QR code. At the Nanocenter, we have produced a nanometer-scale functional QR code using the Focused Ion Beam (FIB) technique. The code was created by ion ...
