6th July 2020 - Press Release: "A successful kick off meeting of newly launched FETOPEN project PHEMTRONICS"
|
The 26th June marked the successful kick-off meeting of the European Commission H2020 FETOPEN project PHEMTRONICS, coordinated by the Institute of Nanotechnology of the Italian National Council of Research that engages 8 partners from University of Muenster (Germany), Tyndall National Institute in Cork (Ireland), University of Linz (Austria), University of Cantabria (Spain), NANOM (Romania), TEOX (France) and VLCPhotonics (Spain).
H2020 FETOPEN PHEMTRONICS heralds a new era in the fields of mobile communications, optical computing, ultrafast athermal switching for neuromorphic computation, tuneable nanopixel displays, covering the whole value chain, from a novel class of plasmonic phase-change materials, to fabrication, design, modelling tools and integration to new device architectures.
Within this context, PHEMTRONICS aim of delivering innovative ultrafast light induced phase-change switches, dynamically reconfigurable antennas and adaptive switchable multiple-band detectors surpassing the current paradigms of speed, energy and frequencies.
Maria Losurdo, Director of Research at Institute of Nanotechnology – CNR, Bari (Italy) and Coordinator of the project, explains the expected impact from PHEMTRONICS: “We are shaping the transition from the nano-scale technology to the femto-scale future all-optical communication and computing; the challenge is providing a ubiquitous cognitive environment to continually reinvent ourselves through the applications of future exciting technologies that merge all the knowledge we have gained in optics, photonics, plasmonics and new materials.”
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the FETOPEN grant agreement No 899598.
