In January it was our great pleasure to welcome Professor Thomas Michely from the University of Cologne.

Being a professor for experimental physics Thomas Michely is synthesizes nanostructures and 2D materials and investigates their structural, electronic, and magnetic properties. In his talk on “Physics with a new type of 1D metal” he explains how mirror twin boundaries can successfully be applied as ultimately thin gates in field effect transistors.

Thank you for showing us the most beautiful mirror twin boundaries, Professor Michely!
