A two-technique cross measurement allows identifying impostor Majorana particles

Majorana anyons, theoretically predicted particles which are expected to show exotic properties with great potential for quantum computing applications, are both very elusive and difficult to distinguish from other quantum states. Researchers from ISTA, ICN2 and ICMM-CSIC combined two different measurement techniques to unmask an impostor Majorana particle, as described in a study published in ‘Nature’.

A sensitive photonic nanodevice provides rapid and quantitative diagnostic of COVID-19

A team of researchers led by members of the ICN2 NanoBiosensors and Bioanalytical Applications Group presents on the pages of ‘Sensors & Diagnostics’ an innovative photonic biosensor that can detect the presence of the SARS-COV-2 virus at very low concentrations in a sample. It can also provide a quantitative measure of the viral load in less than 20 minutes, which is crucial to prevent the spread of the infection and to intervene quickly with the appropriate treatment.

Quantum materials enable next-generation photonics for mobile networks in the terahertz regime

A paper recently published in 'Light: Science & Applications’ demonstrates that quantum materials of the topological insulator family can efficiently upconvert electromagnetic radiation in the terahertz (THz) regime. These results open new avenues for THz photonics technology and its application in sensing, homeland security and sixth-generation mobile communications. The study was conducted by a team of researchers coordinated by ICN2 group leader Dr Klaas-Jan Tielrooij.

Foremost Photonics 2022: re-launching nanophotonics research in Europe

The workshop was organised by a new generation of nanophotonics researchers and funded by the Nanophotonics Europe Association, a network that emerged from the EU funded PhOREMOST project, in which Prof. Dr Clivia Sotomayor-Torres and other members of the research group that she leads at the ICN2 were involved.

A new strategy for custom design of multicomponent materials based on metal-organic frameworks

In a paper published in ‘JACS’, an alternative method to synthesize complex metal-organic framework (MOFs), by assembling prefabricated “pores”, is proposed. The approach envisioned by a team of researchers from the ICN2 Supramolecular NanoChemistry and Materials Group provides greater control over the materials produced and their specific properties.

New hybrid materials to enhance performance of supercapacitors

Two studies led by members of the ICN2 Novel Energy-Oriented Materials Group, recently published in specialised journals, explore two parallel strategies for the development of a hybrid material –based on MXene and polyoxometalates— for the electrodes of supercapacitors, which results in improved energy storage performance.

A study on ultrafast light-based logic in graphene discussed by Dr. Tielrooij in ‘Nature Materials’

ICN2 group leader Dr Klaas-Jan Tielrooij is the author of a perspective article in the “News & Views” section of the latest issue of “Nature Materials” that summarizes and highlights the relevance of a study recently published in “Nature”. This work provides a proof-of-concept demonstration of an ultrafast logic gate, using graphene and short laser pulses, which has incredibly promising applications in ultrafast signal processing.

A DNA-based nanostructure inspired by antibodies as the core of a programmable sensing platform for rapid, single-step diagnostics

A team consisting of current and former members of the ICN2 Nanobioelectronics and Biosensors Group has developed an electrochemical sensor based on a modified DNA scaffold nanostructure able to detect antibodies and proteins in unprocessed biological fluids. It has a Y-shaped architecture that mimics the one of natural Immunoglobulin antibodies. According to the results published in an article in ‘Advanced Functional Materials’, it is selective, specific, and adaptable to the detection of different biomarkers.
