Aachen Graphene & 2D Materials Center
From material science to new device applications
On 03–04 March 2026, 127 researchers and industry experts gathered at the SuperC at RWTH Aachen University for the 2nd workshop “2D Materials for Future Electronics.” The event proved to be a great success, bringing together a vibrant community to exchange ideas and explore emerging developments in the field.
The 2nd Workshop on “2D Materials for Future Electronics” will take place on March 3–4, 2026, in Aachen, Germany, bringing together leading researchers and industry experts for a two-day, in-person exchange on recent advances and future perspectives of two-dimensional materials in electronic applications.
This year, the workshop will focus in particular on the role of 2D materials in enabling energy-efficient electronics, addressing novel device concepts, materials integration strategies, and emerging technologies. Through invited talks and interactive discussions, participants will gain valuable insights into current research trends as well as the key scientific and technological challenges shaping the next generation of electronic systems.
Organized jointly by AMO GmbH, the Aachen Graphene & 2D Materials Center, and RWTH Aachen University, the workshop continues a successful series of events dedicated to fostering exchange within the 2D materials community.
Participation is free and open to everybody.

The workshop is financially supported by the European Union via the projects 2D-ADDICT, 2D-PL, CERBERUS, and ENERGIZE, as well as by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation), via the Collaborative Research Center/Transregio TRR404 „Next Generation Electronics With Active Devices in Three Dimensions [Active-3D]“, and by the the BMFTR through the Cluster4Future NeuroSys and the project MoS2FET (grant number 01DK24018, part of the „Förderung von Projekten zum Thema Forschungs- und Entwicklungszusammenarbeit zwischen Deutschland und der Ukraine”). A sponsorhip by Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology is also acknowledged.
In his famous 1959 lecture “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom,” physicist Richard Feynman explored the vast, untapped potential of manipulating matter at the nanoscale. Fast forward to today, and researchers are turning their gaze upward — not downward — to explore a new frontier in electronics.

Continue reading “Researching MoS2-based MOSFETS – together with Ukraine”The exceptional electronic properties of graphene make it a material with large potential for low-power, high-frequency electronics. However, the performance of a graphene-based device depends not only on the properties of the graphene itself, but also on the quality of its metal contacts. The lack of effective and manufacturable approaches to establish good ohmic contacts to a graphene sheet is one of the factors that limit today the full application potential of graphene technology.
