<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nFLAG-ERA is\na network of national and regional funding organizations in Europe that\nsupports the two first FET Flagship projects of the European Commission: the\nGraphene Flagship and the Human Brain Project. On November 2018, FLAG-ERA\nannounced its third Joint Transnational Call (FLAG-ERA JTC 2019), with an\ninitial budget of 20 M\u20ac. This type of call presents a number of peculiarities.\nFirst, it funds only topics where synergies with the two Flagships are\nexpected. Second, it funds only projects that involve partners form three or\nmore different countries participating to the FLAG-ERA net. Third, while all\nprojects are evaluated \u201ccentrally\u201d by an independent evaluation panel, those\nrecommended for funding are funded by the individual funding agencies \u2212 meaning\nthat each partner of the project is funded by its national funding agency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt might\nseem a complicated way of financing research\u201d, says Prof. Max Lemme from the\nchair of Electronic Devices at RWTH Aachen University, \u201cbut graphene is a topic\nthat profits enormously from this kind of transnational collaborations.\u201d Lemme\nis partner of the project 2D-NEMS, together with Prof. Christoph Stampfer \u2212 also at RWTH \u2212 and with colleagues from the Royal\nInstitute of Technology in Sweden and from Graphenea Semiconductor in Spain.\nThe goal of the project is to explore the potential of heterostructures formed\nby graphene and other two-dimensional materials for realizing ultra small and\nultra sensitive sensors, such as accelerometers. \u201cWe want to understand which\ncombination of 2D-materials works better for a certain type of sensors and\nwhy\u201d, says Lemme. \u201cAnd, most importantly, we want to realize prototypes that\nare not only good for high-impact publications, but that can be of real\ninterest for industry.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Christoph\nStampfer, head of II Institute of Physics A, is also involved in the FLAG-ERA\nproject TATTOOS, together with colleagues from UC Louvain in Belgium and CNRS\nin Paris. TATTOOS is a more exploratory\nproject, dedicated to some of the most fascinating properties of bilayer\ngraphene. As the name says, bilayer graphene is a material formed by two layers\nof graphene. One of the big scientific surprises of 2018 was that for certain\n\u201cmagic angles\u201d between the two layers the\nsystem can exhibit superconductivity or other exotic properties. \u201cIn TATTOOS\nwe\u2019ll use a technique developed by our CNRS colleague, which should allow to\nrotate dynamically the angle between the layers with the tip of an atomic force\nmicroscope.\u201d, explains Stampfer. \u201cIt\u2019s a crazy idea! Typically, changing the\nangle requires making a new sample. If they hadn\u2019t already demonstrated this\napproach on a similar system, I would not believe it can work. I\u2019m really\nexcited to see what new physics we can explore in this way.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lemme and Stampfer are both members of the Aachen Graphene and 2D Materials Center. \u201cThe fact that the Center is participating in two of the nine projects funded in the sub-call \u201cGraphene \u2013 Basic Research and Innovation\u201d, is a good example of the relevance of the research done here in Aachen\u201d, says Stampfer, who is also the spokesperson of the Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
