Full project name:
Advanced MUltiscaLe materials for key Enabling Technologies (AMULET)
Project Details
The AMULET project, supported by the Johannes Amos Comenius Programme under the call “Excellent Science”, focuses on the advanced engineering of multiscale materials, spanning from subnanometer design to the integration of these materials into functional architectures. One key aim is the design and implementation of innovative sensing concepts and platforms based on 2D materials, enabling breakthroughs in detection and monitoring technologies. Another major goal is the development of new applications in medicine and bio/nanotechnology, achieved by studying the interactions of biomolecules with advanced, industrially relevant materials. The project also focuses on the development of catalytic photo(electro)chemical and heterogeneous chemical processes in both gas and liquid phases, targeting the efficient removal of toxic substances and the sustainable conversion of selected raw materials into high-value products. Finally, AMULET aims to create hierarchical heterostructures and advanced devices for flexible electronics, optoelectronics, and hybrid systems, supporting next-generation solutions for quantum technologies, and energy conversion and storage. By combining expertise across multiple disciplines and addressing both fundamental and applied challenges, AMULET stands at the forefront of materials science, driving advances with wide-ranging technological and societal impact.
