Mastering the world of Information

Recent Highlights from Helmholtz Information

  • Material with novel stretching properties developed

    Metamaterials are artificially engineered materials that do not occur in nature. Their building blocks function like atoms in conventional materials but have special optical, electrical, or magnetic…

  • The Last Missing Piece of Silicon Photonics

    Scientists from Forschungszentrum Jülich, FZJ, the University of Stuttgart, and the Leibniz Institute for High Performance Microelectronics (IHP), together with their French partner CEA-Leti, have…

  • Innovative Materials Repel Water Almost Completely

    Researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) from Helmholtz Information and the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IITG) have developed a surface material that almost completely…

  • Spiking neural networks reach a new level

    Three studies recently published within just one month by the journal Cerebral Cortex present new models of spiking networks in the brain. Electrical spikes of neurons are at the core of neural…
