Highlights

ENRIS (European Symposium on Nanofabrication Research Infrastructure) is a biannual international symposium focused on nanofabrication cleanroom operation, management, and user training. The 4th edition will be held in Bologna from May 13-15, 2025.

Researchers at Uppsala University have developed a new method for fabricating flat magnetic nanostructures. The new method makes it possible to create combinations of materials at the nanometer scale that were previously beyond reach with conventional lithography.

A specially designed diamond coronagraph can be used to search for Earth-like planets in other solar systems, such as Alpha Centauri. This summer, four diamond coronagraphs manufactured at Uppsala University will be delivered to the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) in Chile.   

Uppsala University is the new world record holder for electrical energy generation from CIGS solar cells. The new world record is 23.64 per cent efficiency. The measurement was made by an independent institute and the results are published in the journal Nature Energy.
