Provides the researchers at the fronts of physics

Uniting exceptional performance requirements with mass production can sound like
an impossibility. Nevertheless, Low Noise Factory has succeeded in making its extremely low-noise microwave amplifiers. Today, they are the first choice in both radio telescopes and quantum computers. Read more about Low Noise Factory
Devices from Chalmers going to space
Schottky diodes fabricated at the Nanofabrication Laboratory at the
Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience – MC2 – are becoming
important components of the second generation weather satellite space
project MetOp. The diodes were delivered to Omnisys Instruments this
last May.

Using new technology to map signals in the brain
Sensors based on nanothreads that are superconducting
in liquid nitrogen are offering new ways of measuring activity in the
brain. In the future, the technique may revolutionize brain research and
add to our knowledge of how stress affects us, for example. It will
also simplify diagnosis of patients suffering from neurological
diseases. Read more
Cooling graphene-based film close to pilot-scale production
Heat dissipation in electronics and optoelectronics is a severe
bottleneck in the further development of systems in these fields. To
come to grips with this serious issue, researchers at Chalmers
University of Technology have developed an efficient way of cooling
electronics by using functionalized graphene nanoflakes. The results are
being published in the renowned journal, Nature Communications, on 29
April.
