The project aims to fight the unemployment among young scientists through further development of their research potential. This will create new opportunities for young researchers, thus, aiming at reducing or even reversing the so-called brain drain or, even better, at promoting brain circulation. The implementation of the project ARCHERS aims to support young doctoral students as well as post-doctoral researchers in the early stages of their career through training in the cutting-edge technologies in which the Institutes of FORTH excel both nationally and internationally. More specifically, the areas of interest in this project are the preservation of cultural heritage and the tackling of societal challenges such as environment, clean energy and health, i.e., interdisciplinary research fields within the high-quality competitive research activities of FORTH.
Young postdoctoral researchers (for 72 person-years) and young Ph.D. students (for 72 person-years) will receive Stavros Niarchos Foundation – FORTH Fellowships following open calls in the respective scientific fields. An International Conference at the end of the project will demonstrate the results achieved through the project highlighting the contribution of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.

Graphene has been around for 15 years, Carbon nanotubes since the 90’s and other two dimensional materials have been investigated for a decade. Was this time enough to materialize electronics based on those systems? Does Physics allow us to have a 2D based electronic platform or is there a fundamental flaw in such a quest? Is the initial promise for beyond Silicon electronics taking shape or is there – still – nothing that can replace conventional electronics? This presentation will focus on three parts:
We will initially review past work on the field of 2D and CNT electronics, material and device fabrication aspects will be discussed, our current understanding of the technology and device milestones achieved will also be presented. We will also critically compare the existing Silicon and conventional semiconductor technology to what is attainable today using 2D and CNT materials. Finally we will focus on the fundamental capabilities of 2D materials as we understand them now and discuss which of the initial promises is still viable and which is not.
