Developing Materials for Energy Efficient Neuromorphic Computing Neuromorphic computing offers a potentially disruptive technological capability to process complex inputs and produce elegantly simple, useful outputs,…

The Search for New Superconductors in Extraterrestrial Materials Previous studies have shown that Meteorites can contain unusual natural phases, such as quasicrystals, that have otherwise…

The Search for New Superconductors – Synthetic Materials The search for materials with novel properties, new superconductors in particular, is a difficult and sometimes tedious…

Metallo-Phthalocyanines (MPc) form a family of planar organic molecules with a metal ion (or 2 hydrogen atoms) at its center. These molecules are thermally and…

Manipulation of Superconducting Vortices at the Nanoscale Superconductors are well known for their perfect diamagnetism, they expel magnetic flux (see figure 1a). However, that changes…

Complex oxides: Vanadium Oxide VO2 and V2O3 are two examples of transition metal oxides that show a metal insulator transition whereby the resistance of the…

Fig. 1. Above the Néel temperature of the AF all its spins are disordered. Below TN they become ordered and the exchange coupling between FM…
