In March 2024, Alessandro Principi (UNIMAN) presented scientific results of HYDROTRONICS in his presentation “Vison manipulation with local magnetic fields” at the APS March Meeting 2024.

In the realm of the HYDROTRONICS cooperation, Prof. Jörg Schmalian (KIT) was invited to hold a lecture at WEIZMANN on 14th March 2024. He proposed a deep-dive into the history of superconductivity, from the initial discovery by Kamerlingh Onnes, to unsuccessful theoretical attempts to finally the Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS) theory.

Researchers from the University of Manchester published an article in Nature discussing giant magnetoresistance of Dirac plasma in high-mobility graphene.

At room temperature and in low magnetic fields, the graphene's electron-hole plasma shows a remarkable parabolic magnetoresistivity exceeding 100%, which is significantly higher than any other known system. This behavior, unique to monolayer graphene, is influenced by its massless spectrum and ultrahigh mobility despite frequent scattering. The study opens up exciting possibilities for exploring fundamental physics in this well-defined two-dimensional system.

An introduction to Fluid Mechanics is now available on YouTube, consisting of several recordings from Gregory Falkovich’s (WEIZMANN) lectures at Boulder Summer School "Hydrodynamics across scales" and Simons Center for Geometry and Physics.

As an "outstanding theoretical condensed-matter physicist with strong connections to Dresden", Jörg Schmalian has been honoured with this year's "Physik-Preis Dresden". The prize is awarded jointly by the MPI-PKS und the Physics Department of the TUD to scientists whose excellent research has strengthened the collaboration between these two institutions. Congratulations to the HYDROTRONICS coordinator Jörg Schmalian!

Boris Narozhny (KIT) was selected as a Outstanding Referee by the American Physical Society. The Outstanding Referee program was instituted in 2008 to recognize scientists who have been exceptionally helpful in assessing manuscripts for publication in the APS journals.

From 13-24 March 2023, the HYDROTRONICS consortium participated in the Conference and Advanced School on Low-Dimensional Quantum Systems, organized at the University of Chile. Researchers from the HYDROTRONICS partners contributed with several lectures and talks to the event, e.g. about Electronic hydrodynamics and Topologically Enabled Superconductivity.

After a long hold on travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the HYDROTRONICS consortium finally had the chance to intensify their scientific collaboration in Chile in spring 2023. Overall, 20 early-stage and experienced researchers from Germany, Israel, the Netherlands and the UK were seconded and thus had the opportunity to work together at the University of Chile.

The Colloquium " Nuevos Paradigmas en Ciencia e Ingeniería y su impacto en los planes de estudio", organized by the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico from 3-4 November 2022, consisted in a series of colloquiums aimed at presenting new paradigms that could change science and engineering in the near future. Luis Foa Torres (UCH) provided one of the talks on the future of quantum computers.

On 15 March 2021, Alessandro Principi (UNIMAN) presented first results of HYDROTRONICS in his presentation “Thermal transport in compensated semimetals: a mystery explained” at the APS March Meeting (Session on Electronic and Thermal Transport Properties of Graphene).

The first scientific conference on Electronic Hydrodynamics within the MSCA-RISE project HYDROTRONICS took place from October 20-22 2020 as a virtual conference.

The emergence of hydrodynamic electronics can be seen in non-local, superballistic and turbulent transport of energy and electric charge. There is a growing interest in the hydrodynamic effects in interacting electron systems in ultra-pure materials. The EU-funded HYDROTRONICS project will build a framework to describe hydrodynamic charge and energy transport fine-tuned to the material properties and sample geometry.
