A new research center has been awarded US$2.39 million by the Danish National Research Foundation to continue a collaboration between Danish and Chinese researchers from the Nano Science Center and the Niels Bohr Institute of the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, China. The foundation support will allow research centers to be established in both capitals. The Danish and Chinese researchers have been working together since 2006 to develop electronic components of "plastic," which has the potential to be used in the electronic, energy and communications industries. Professor Thomas Bjørnholm, leader of Nano-Science Center at the University of Copenhagen, said "[T]he new centre is an ideal framework to exchange researchers and equally importantly, research students, creating the best possible foundation for a fruitful research partnership. Now we have the opportunity to work together with some of the world's best scientists in the area of molecular nano-electronics. We have different research related expertise in Denmark and China, and by working together we will be able to compliment each other." The article can be viewed online at the link below.
