FIBLYS - Building an Analyzing Focused Ion Beam for Nanotechnology
The project FIBLYS aims at developing an innovative nanostructuring, nanomanipulation and nanoanalysis instrument: a hybrid scanning probe (SPM) and dual beam focussed ion beam (FIB) instrument (including scanning electron microscopy (SEM) capabilities). more...
HIGH EF - Large grained, low stress multi-crystalline silicon thin film solar cells on glass
HIGH-EF will provide the silicon thin film photovoltaic (PV) industry with a unique process allowing for high solar cell efficiencies (potential for >10%) by large, low defective grains and low stress levels in the material at competitive production costs. more...
Nano3T - Biofunctionalized metal and magnetic nanoparticles for targeted tumour therapy
The cause of diseases is often unknown, but their origin can frequently be found at the biomolecular and cellular level situated on nm-scale. Early diagnostics combined with early intervention on that nanoscale is one of the holy grail of modern medicine. more...
NanoPV - Nanomaterials and nanotechnology for advanced photovoltaics
The NanoPV project aims at making a breakthrough step-change in photovoltaics by the removal of a set of bottlenecks which have been identified to block the application of nanostructures for high-efficiency, low-cost solar cells. more...

RODSOL - All-inorganic nano-rod based thin-film solarcells
Thin film solar cells, based on non-toxic, abundant and air-stable silicon (Si) will probably, based on forecasts, dominate the photovoltaic market in the future and thus replace bulk Si from its leading position. more...
S-Pulse - Shrink-Path of Ultra-Low Power Superconducting Electronics
The proposed Support Action S-PULSE aims to prepare Superconducting Electronics (SE) for the technology generation beyond the CMOS scaling limits ("beyond CMOS"). more...
SINAPS - Semiconducting Nanowire Platform for Autonomous Sensors
The aim of the SiNAPS project is to develop standalone “dust”-sized chemical sensing platforms that harvest energy from ambient electromagnetic radiation (light) and will enable miniaturisation below the current mm3 barrier. more...
SOLID - Solid State Systems for Quantum Information Processing
The SOLID concept is to develop small solid-state hybrid systems capable of performing elementary processing and communication of quantum information. This involves design, fabrication and investigation of combinations of qubits, oscillators, cavities, and transmission lines, creating hybrid devices interfacing different types of qubits for quantum data storage, qubit interconversion, and communication. more...
