The Spanish Nanolithography Network awards the Nanolito prize to Maria Barra for her thesis entitled Micro and Nano Fabrication of Structures for Light-Matter Interaction.

Mikel Quintana, researcher in the Nanomagnetism group at CIC nanoGUNE, has been awarded with the Extraordinary Doctorate Award 2024 in the area of Sciences of the UPV/EHU for his thesis Phase Transitions in Nanoscale Designed Magnetic Thin Films.

SPEAR ITN project (Spin-orbit Materials, Emergent Phenomena and Related Technologies Training), coordinated by CIC nanoGUNE, is a multidisciplinary European network training a new generation of highly skilled researchers able to address future memory technologies and nanoelectronics beyond CMOS. 

The Basque nanoscience research center opens a new group for the development of quantum hardware.

A new tower will be built, which will be housing the laboratories of the new group and also a leading scale-up company in quantum technologies.

NanoGUNE will be developing in San Sebastian chips for the construction of quantum computers based on semiconductor technology.

Twelve undergraduate students join nanoGUNE's Summer Internship Program.

CIC nanoGUNE launches a call —Industry Collaborative Research Positions— which seeks to facilitate the technological development of Basque companies so that they can provide innovative solutions to their industrial challenges thanks to the incorporation of highly qualified researchers.

In a recent review article published in Reviews of Modern Physics, Fèlix Casanova from the Nanodevices group at CIC nanoGUNE, Prof. Albert Fert, Nobel Prize in Physics, and his colleagues review the state of the art of electrical control of magnetism and give scientific and technological future persperctives.

In a recent article published in Nature Communications an international team, led by researchers from the Nanodevices group at CIC nanoGUNE, suceeded in voltage-based magnetization switching and reading of magnetoelectric spin-orbit nanodevices. This study constitutes aproof of principle of these nanodevices, which are the building blocks for magnetoelectric spin-orbit (MESO) logic, opening a new avenue for low-power beyond-CMOS technologies.

Aranzazu Sierra-Fernández, PhD in Materials Science and Engineering, has received the Junior Leader postdoctoral fellowship from the "la Caixa" Foundation to pursue a line of research in the Nanomaterials group of CIC nanoGUNE focusing on the study of new methodologies to conserve cultural heritage. The project sets out to develop protective coatings for the conservation of cultural assets, with an emphasis on strength, toughness, durability and compatibility with building materials.
