In an article published on ACS Nano, researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics demonstrate a novel type of device, called local magnetic inhibitor, that allows for the manipulation of magnetic domain walls at the nanoscale, enabling new types of spintronic devices for memory, logic, and neuromorphic applications. more

In a recent study published in Nature, an international team of researchers has developed a groundbreaking two-dimensional conducting polymer—polyaniline (2DPANI)—that exhibits exceptional electrical conductivity and metallic charge transport behavior. Unlike conventional conducting polymers, which show strong conduction along polymer chains but suffer from poor interchain/interlayer conductivity, 2DPANI overcomes these limitations with its unique crystal structure, enabling efficient electron flow both within and across its layers. more

A new method enables researchers to analyse magnetic nanostructures with a high resolution. It was developed by researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle. The new method achieves a resolution of around 70 nanometres, whereas normal light microscopes have a resolution of just 500 nanometres. This result is important for the development of new, energy-efficient storage technologies based on spin electronics. The team reports on its research in the current issue of the journal "ACS nano". more

In a paper published in Nature Reviews Materials, scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics and TUD share insights on exploring organic 2D crystals for electronic and quantum communities, aiming to bridge ideas from chemistry, materials science, and physics to inspire innovative concepts for future research. more
