Nová generace magnetických materiálů, tzv. antiferomagnety a altermagnety, by do budoucna mohly nahradit technologie založené na křemíku&nbsp;a umožnit až tisícinásobně rychlejší zápis dat při výrazně nižší spotřebě energie. Tyto materiály mají unikátní vlastnosti, díky kterým mohou&nbsp;fungovat i v extrémně malých strukturách a mohly by tak být odpovědí na požadavky moderní doby a neustále narůstající potřebu&nbsp;miniaturizace součástek. Tyto zásadní výzvy řeší projekt TERAFIT, na kterém spolupracuje&nbsp;CEITEC VUT, kde se vědci pod vedením Vojtěcha Uhlíře zabývají rozvojem metod pro zobrazování této nové generace materiálů.V roce 2024 byl v&nbsp;České republice zahájen čtyřletý výzkumný projekt TERAFIT, jehož cílem je vývoj nové generace informačních technologií. Projekt se zaměřuje na pokročilé magnetické materiály, které by v budoucnu mohly nahradit současné křemíkové čipy. Projekt TERAFIT je financován MŠMT v rámci operačního programu Jan Amos Komenský (JAK). Konsorcium tří institucí vede profesor Tomáš Jungwirth z Fyzikálního ústavu (FZÚ) AV ČR, spolupracují také odborníci z Univerzity Karlovy (UK) a vědecké týmy na CEITEC VUT.Současné IT technologie spotřebovávají obrovské množství energie a narážejí na své fyzikální limity. Kromě standardního provozu, jako je doprava, osvětlení či vytápění budov, navíc očekáváme jejich další dramatický rozvoj. „Naším cílem je vyvinout nový koncept výpočetních systémů, který umožní rychlejší, úspornější a lépe škálovatelné technologie pro éru umělé inteligence,“ vysvětluje Vojtěch Uhlíř.<h3>Materiály budoucnosti: antiferomagnety a altermagnety</h3>Současné IT technologie jsou založené na feromagnetických materiálech. Ty se při působení vnějšího magnetického pole silně zmagnetizují a mohou si tuto magnetizaci zachovat i po odstranění pole. Uvnitř těchto materiálů se atomy totiž chovají jako drobné „magnetky“, které jsou většinou natočené stejným směrem. Díky tomu celý materiál působí jako silný magnet.Tyto materiály ale narážejí na limity – při snaze zmenšovat součástky a zrychlovat zápis dat se jejich vlastnosti začínají zhoršovat.Naproti tomu antiferomagnety a nově objevené altermagnety, na jejichž zavedení do celosvětového výzkumu mají klíčový podíl právě vědci z týmu FZÚ AV ČR, nabízejí nové možnosti díky svým unikátním vlastnostem a schopnosti fungovat i v extrémně malých strukturách.U antiferomagnetů jsou jejich vnitřní „magnetky“ uspořádány střídavě – jeden atom je natočený jedním směrem a sousední zase opačně. Tyto magnetické účinky se navzájem vyruší, takže materiál se navenek tváří skoro jako nemagnetický. Navíc takové uspořádání prakticky nereaguje na vnější magnetické pole. To z něj dělá skvělého kandidáta pro nové typy velmi malých a rychlých součástek.Ještě zajímavější mohou být altermagnety. Ty jsou výjimečné tím, že spojují vlastnosti obou předchozích typů: navenek nejsou silně magnetické jako běžné magnety, ale přesto dokážou ovlivňovat elektrony v&nbsp;součástkách způsobem, který je užitečný pro ukládání a zpracování informací. Díky této jedinečné kombinaci mohou umožnit vznik nových typů pamětí a čipů, které budou rychlejší, úspornější a lépe využitelné pro budoucí technologie, například v oblasti umělé inteligence.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/CEITEC_Nova_generace_magnetickych_materialu_muze_prekonat_limity_kremikovych_technologii_v_IT_2_9b151aeca6.jpeg" alt="CEITEC / CEITEC VUT: Nová generace magnetických materiálů může překonat limity křemíkových technologií v IT: Vojtěch Uhlíř a jeho tým zkoumají nové třídy magnetických materiálů." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_CEITEC_Nova_generace_magnetickych_materialu_muze_prekonat_limity_kremikovych_technologii_v_IT_2_9b151aeca6.jpeg 194w," sizes="100vw" width="1600" height="1285"><h3>Špičková infrastruktura na CEITEC VUT</h3>Týmy na CEITEC VUT vyvíjejí zobrazovací a analytické metody, které umožňují studovat magnetické materiály až na úroveň jednotlivých atomů.

Lipid nanoparticle (LNP) payloads are the top choice when it comes to delivering a wide range of nucleic acid therapeutics, like RNA and plasmid DNA (pDNA). But when it comes to characterizing LNPs, assays for size, payload quantification and encapsulation efficiency (EE%) are split up in different steps that slow down any workflow. This split‑assay approach adds complexity, from increased pipetting steps to surfactants that alter pDNA structure and reduce reproducibility and sample throughput. As LNP programs scale up, researchers need simpler, faster LNP characterization in an EE% method that works with any nucleic acid payload.In this SelectScience® webinar, Dr. Kevin Lance, Director of Product Management at Unchained Labs, will present new data showing how Stunner AF measures EE% for both RNA‑ and pDNA‑containing LNPs without surfactants, and will demonstrate how avoiding surfactant‑driven particle disruption creates a platform EE% assay that also allows simultaneous reads on size and aggregation from the same measurement. You will learn how to integrate Stunner AF into RNA‑ and pDNA‑LNP screening, formulation optimization, and QC workflows to capture more LNP data in far less time.<h4>Key learning objectives:</h4><ul><li>Learn how to characterize size, payload amount, and encapsulation efficiency in a single, one-instrument assay.</li><li>Understand the challenges with pDNA payloads and what steps to take to overcome them.</li><li>Explore the challenges and latest approaches in UV/Vis quantification of LNPs and their payloads.</li><li>Understand how surfactant‑free EE% measurements preserve particle integrity for both RNA‑ and pDNA‑LNPs.</li><li>Learn how to streamline high‑throughput LNP screening with up to 44 samples plus standards on a single 96‑well plate.</li></ul><h4>Who should attend?</h4><ul><li>Formulation and analytical scientists developing and optimizing biologic drug products – including conjugated LNPs, novel formulations, stability studies, excipient screening, and biophysical characterization.</li><li>Process development teams translating early formulations into scalable, manufacturable processes.</li></ul><h4>Certificate of attendance</h4>If you attend the live webinar, you will automatically receive a certificate of attendance, including a learning outcomes summary, for continuing education purposes.If you view the on-demand webinar, you can request a certificate of attendance by emailing editor@selectscience.net.<h4>Webinar details</h4><ul><li>Cost: Free to attend</li><li>Location: Online</li><li>Duration: 60 minutes</li></ul>Registration is required to secure your place.
