NICKEFFECT, a new project co-funded by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe programme, aims to develop novel ferromagnetic Ni-based coating materials to replace the scarce and costly Platinum and ensure high efficiency in key applications. 

MAGYTECH is a highly inter-disciplinary project whose primary goal is the use of new magnetoelectric materials and actuation protocols to boost energy efficiency in three technological domains: (i) data storage systems (by inducing a reduction of coercivity or, ultimately, ON-OFF magnetic transitions), (ii) tissue engineering (to promote cellular proliferation, differentiation and gene expression) based on the magnetoelectric stimulation of bone and muscle cells or neurons and (iii) magneto-electrocatalytic generation of hydrogen (and oxygen) as a green energy vector.

iBRAIN aims at enabling magneto-ionics as a technology to prototype, from a materials engineering viewpoint, artificial synapses for brain-inspired computing hardware, ready to be interconnected with neurons and integrated in a neural network.

BeMAGIC is a highly interdisciplinary European Training Network whose primary aim is the training of young researchers in the utilization of magnetoelectric (ME) nanomaterials to face important societal challenges linked to energy-efficiency, data security and health.
