The European Commission has officially launched the Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU) under the Chips ACT to strengthen the European semiconductor ecosystem. The Italian pilot line, led by CNR Catania, will enable FBK to improve the facilities and technologies of its laboratories and provide advanced support to other research organisations and companies.

A team of researchers from the Center for Sensors and Devices and the University of Trento has created surfaces that delay ice formation by expelling water droplets before they freeze. This work opens up new horizons for applications in the field of aeronautics and thermodynamic systems.

The recent partnership between researchers from the MNF research unit and the faculty of engineering at the University of Bozen has seen its excellent results recognised through the publication of a paper in the journal ACS Applied electronic materials.

Silicon Carbide is a material that is gradually gaining interest in the technological framework. The SD Center is organising a full-day workshop on this cutting-edge technology to gather information from experts for upcoming projects such as IPCEI ME/CNT and others.
