Focusing Expertise - Shaping the Future
In the Jülich Aachen Research Alliance (JARA), RWTH Aachen University and Forschungszentrum Jülich pool their outstanding expertise in five research sections, a JARA-Center and four JARA-Instituts.These common efforts open up new research opportunities and facilitate projects that would not be attainable for either of the partners on their own. Furthermore, their attention is always focused on the grand challenges facing society.

JARA-ENERGY Talks - 19.06.2023

Research for the Energy Transition - US and Europe" is the title of the tenth JARA-ENERGY Talks. Mark McGranaghan, Fellow of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), will speak on this occasion and topic.

The Summer School, which alternates between Germany and the USA, was held in Germany this year. On 25.5, the focus was on the Jülich Research Center, which included visits to the Supercomputing Center and Prof. Kathrin Amunts' neuroanatomy labs, as well as keynote lectures by JARA-BRAIN members Prof. Thomas Frodl and Prof. Jon Shah.

Together, the two JARA partners Forschungszentrum Jülich and RWTH Aachen University, in cooperation with Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, are making a vision come true. A unique infrastructure for the characterization of materials is to be created in the "Ernst Ruska-Centrum 2.0" in the middle of the Rhenish mining area with the help of next-generation electron microscopes. In the presence of State Secretary Judith Pirscher from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and Ina Brandes, Minister for Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, the roofing ceremony for the new building was celebrated as a milestone on the way to this research infrastructure.

Under the umbrella of JARA Researchers at RWTH Aachen University and Forschungszentrum Jülich have uncovered important characteristics of double quantum dots in bilayer graphene, an increasingly promising material for possible applications in quantum technologies. The team has demonstrated near-perfect particle-hole symmetry in graphene quantum dots, which could lead to more efficient quantum information processing. The study has been published in Nature.

Scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich have fabricated a new type of transistor from a germanium–tin alloy that has several advantages over conventional switching elements. The transistor thus appears to be a promising candidate for future low-power, high-performance chips, and possibly also for the development of future of quantum computers. JARA-FIT scientists Prof. Detlef Grützmacher and Prof. Joachim Knoch were involved in the development.
