EurekAlert June 15, 2020 Research infrastructures are increasingly important to research and development activity by providing access to the latest detection, imaging, computational and research techniques at scale. To address this problem, EMBL developed Accelerator for Research Infrastructure Scientists (ARISE) Programme, funded by EU, for future research infrastructure scientists. During their three-year fellowship experienced STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) professionals will develop into future leaders in technology development and the operation of advanced life science research infrastructures in Europe. They will work on a wide range of research and technology development in the different areas including imaging, bioinformatics, data science […]

A deorbit kit for satellites based on low work-function tethers
Phys.org June 12, 2019 A European research project, called E.T.PACK, is developing a new system for deorbiting space satellites without using on board power and fuel using low work-function tether. It consists of 50 microns thick, 2 cm wide aluminum that is several kilometers in length. It would be rolled up in a reel during the launch of the satellite. Aluminum must have the ability to emit electrons when it is heated. The tether transforms orbital energy into electrical energy while it deorbits the satellite without using any type of fuel. It uses natural resources in the space environment, such […]
Multi-functional quantum bits for future computers
Eurekalert October 29, 2018 Researchers in Germany are working on Scalable Rare Earth Ion Quantum Computing Nodes (SQUARE) within the framework of the Quantum Technology Flagship funded by the European Commission. SQUARE is aimed at establishing rare earth ions that can be addressed separately as basic building blocks for scalable quantum technologies. In particular, it is planned to demonstrate functional elements of a multi-qubit quantum register that can be read out optically and to realize building blocks of a quantum network. Their work was presented at a recent conference in Germany… read more.
