Read MoreThe research group of Network Security and Trust at the Aalto University School of Electrical Engineering is looking for a master’s thesis candidate related to interfaces and protocols for communications between power grid line differential protection relays. Background Line differential protection relays require a communications channel between the relays. Traditionally these relays have been used […]
Read MoreEvolving smart grids combine electric power grid technologies with advanced information and communications technologies to create sustainable energy systems. In electric power grids, critical control related communication has typically been carried over dedicated communications links. Going forward, smart grids will more extensively utilize the flexibility provided by public layer 3 and 5G networks. This will […]
Read MoreAfter more than 100 years of condensed matter physics that brought about the commercially important band insulator and the Mott-insulator, recently, the concept of a third kind of insulator, the topological insulator (TI), was discovered – a class of materials in two- (2D) and three dimensions (3D) with fascinating properties: while the inside of a […]
Read MoreChiral magnetism or more specifically topological magnetic skyrmions in chiral magnets are one of the most exciting current topics in condensed matter physics. Magnetic skyrmions are two-dimensionally localised magnetic excitations that are metastable over macroscopic times and behave like single particles. They are promising for low-power memory and/or logic architectures due to their small size […]
Read MoreThe combination of optical components with electronics on the same microchip can potentially solve the bandwidth bottleneck in modern computers and allow devices with decreased power consumption. Since the integration of well-performing III-V-based lasers (e.g. InGaAs, GaSb or InP) with the mature Si-based electronics proves challenging especially from a technological point of view, solutions within […]
Read MoreThe Ernst Ruska-Centre for Microscopy and Spectroscopy with Electrons (ER-C) is a joint institute of the RWTH and the Forschungszentrum Jülich. The expertise of more than 50 scientists and its outstanding infrastructure with Electron Microscopes that allow subatomic resolution below 50 pm make the Ernst Ruska-Centre one of the world-leading institutes for High-resolution Transmission Electron […]
Read MoreRecent, rapid progress in electronics unveiled a new horizon in experimental techniques, especially in imaging. For example, the beamline ID15 at ESRF is now able to record 2016×2016 x-ray diffraction images with stunning frequency of 1 kHz [1]. With continuous progress in networking devices and detectors/scintillators, the breakthrough towards GHz region is only matter of […]
