In a Nature Nanotechnology News & Views entitled “The environment does the trick” Juan Carlos Cuevas discusses the recent discovery that single-molecule junctions can behave as diodes with high rectification ratios by exposing different electrode surface...
The Condensed Matter Physics Center (IFIMAC) offers four positions to develop a PhD thesis at the IFIMAC within the Pre-doctoral training program in Centers of Excellence Severo Ochoa 2015, funded by MINECO. Each grant...
The conversion of laser light into quantum light is one of the requisite of tomorrow’s quantum technology. A popular trick to do so is the so-called polariton blockade, where the incoming classical light is...
Cafe Scientifique is a place where, for the price of a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, anyone can come to explore the latest ideas in science and technology. Meetings take place in cafes,...
When light is absorbed in organic materials, its energy is converted into excitons (electronic excitations) that normally move around by “hopping” from molecule to molecule. This is important in photosynthesis or solar cells, for...
The Condensed Matter Physics Center (IFIMAC) has been awarded with a “María de Maeztu” grant corresponding to the Excelent Research Centers 2014 program financed by the Spanish I+D+i secretary. This grant will provide to...
