Researchers from AMO GmbH and RWTH Aachen University have successfully demonstrated high-responsivity molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) photodetectors on flexible substrates, realized with a scalable manufacturing technology. The work has been recently published in the journal ACS Photonics, and it is the result of a cooperation with the University of Siegen, Raith B.V., AIXTRON SE, and the University of Wuppertal.

Max Lemme is the protagonist of a short video produced by Arte for series Verknüpft (Linked). Using a simple language, the video explores the connection between a common pencil and a self-driving car. That connection is graphene – or better nanotechnology based on graphene, like the one developed by Lemme’s group at AMO and RWTH.

On February 20, 2020, the radio station Deutschlandfunk Kultur has released a feature piece on “Graphene: the flat all-rounder”. Produced by the journalists Jennifer Rieger und Frank Kaspar, the piece offers an accessible overview of the unique properties of graphene, and a well-balanced analysis of the gap between the stellar expectations grown around this material and its current applications.
