DFG OKs 10 Research Centers

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
BONN, Germany, Dec. 5, 2007 -- The German Research Foundation (DFG, for Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) will establish 10 collaborative research centers Jan. 1 focused on topics that could lead to the development of high-brightness lasers, highly integrated circuits and new types of sensors and computer memory. The 10 new collaborative research centers (SFBs) will receive a total of €74.4 million (approximately $109 million) in funding over the next four years, as well an additional 20 percent of the allocation to cover indirect costs incurred by the projects, the DFG said. Two of the 10 centers are transregional, or...Read full article

    ferroelectric
    That property of particular materials that determines that they will be polarized in one direction or the other, or reversed in direction, when a positive or negative electric field is applied, remaining so until disturbed.
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
