Functional Nanomaterials Chair

 

The group for Functional Nanomaterials exists since 2007. We combine a strong materials science background with interdisciplinary research and collaborations to develop functional materials from basic research level up to industrial application and products. The group has published over 200 articles in renowned international journals, and his research has been cited over 10,000 times and more than 30 PhDs originate from the chair. The group combines its expertise via several subgroups, which are led by the subgroup leaders.

Towards energy-efficient brain-like computers

 

In the context of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, our team at Kiel University (CAU), comprising researchers from Materials Science and Electrical Engineering, has made progress in addressing the substantial energy consumption of computers and data centers. Taking inspiration from the energy-efficient human brain, we have developed materials exhibiting dynamic behaviors reminiscent of biological nervous systems.

Materials with these properties have been detailed in our recent publication in Materials Today. This development signals a step forward in exploring new possibilities for information processing in electronic systems. Our work in materials science and electrical engineering contributes to the ongoing efforts to enhance the power and energy efficiency of computing systems and was featured in a recent press release.

Here, Maximiliane Noll and Maik-Ivo Terasa, doctoral researchers in electrical engineering and materials science, are preparing a network material made of silver-gold nanoparticles in the laboratory.
