Open OpportunitiesThe brain is the world's most amazing computer and runs entirely on chemical reactions. The vision of the EU Project CORENET (https://corenet-horizon.eu) is to deploy complex chemical reaction networks (CRNs) as computing unit to process information. Fully automated hardware and multifunctional reactors initiate and control chemical reactions by changing composition and steering the evolution of the CRN. As a result, a large number of products is being generated and analyzed. - Atomic and Molecular Physics, Neural Networks, Genetic Alogrithms and Fuzzy Logic, Quantum Chemistry

| Considering that thermal design constraints are one of the most challenging problems for the microelectronics industry today, it comes as a surprise that so little is known about heat generation and dissipation on the nanoscale. In IBM’s unique Noisefree Labs, which are among the best shielded nanotechnology labs in the world, we develop new methods and tools for measuring temperature and heat transport down to the atomic scale. By evaluating new materials and device concepts from a thermal point of view, we help to identify future technologies for next generation computers and scientific models.
The local heat generation in nanoscale devices has recently been explored as a means to trigger functionality. Self-heated devices are now the major candidates for future neuromorphic computers, with an anticipated massive reduction in power consumption. However, our understanding of how materials properties, transport physics and device design should come together is still in its infancy. Measuring temperature fields at nanoscale resolution with Scanning Thermal Microscopy can help us explore those open questions and give insight into device working principles. - Instruments and Techniques, Theoretical and Condensed Matter Physics
