Prof. Di Bernardo gets awarded the prestigious Kurti Science Prize for Europe for low-temperature Physics. The prize is awarded by a committee of senior European academics and sponsored by Oxford Instruments.
Our group has successfully led another international collaboration and published a new manuscript showing that chiral molecules (ChMs) can radically change the macroscopic Meissner state of a conventional (Nb) superconductor, once adsorbed onto its surface. The results published in Physical Review Materials pave the way for the realisation of superconducting devices, where the magnetic flux coupled through a S is changed locally via adsorbed ChMs.
Our research group has led an international collaboration and have addressed a long-standing question about the possible existence of magnetism in the unconventional superconductor Sr2RuO4. The results are presented in an article published in the journal Nature Communications. Discovery importance highlighted by several magazines and scientific media!
Mr Leon Ruf joins as new Ph.D. student in the group, thanks to the support of one of the competitive Zukunftskolleg Research Fellowships awarded to Prof. Di Bernardo.
Ms Priyana Puliyappara-Babu joins as Ph.D. student supervised by Prof. Di Bernardo and funded by the Humboldt Foundation via a Sofja Kovalevskaja grant.
