A new project, MAGNELIQ, "A MAGNETO-ELECTRIC LIQUID TO SENSE BETTER", was obtained at the Departments for Materials Synthesis and Complex Matter. The kick-off meeting took place on 12. and 13. 11. 2020. The project will combine experimental research and theoretical modelling to develop a, currently not-existing, magneto-electric liquid. New contactless sensor technologies based on magneto-electric liquids will be demonstrated, such as, miniature fully optical sensors of electric/magnetic field, and wireless distributed-force sensors for prosthetics. The total project value is 2.992.755 EUR. The project is coordinated by the Jožef Stefan Institute with the share of 973.695 EUR. Other project partners are: Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences (Czech Republic), Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Istituto Officina dei Materiali (Italy), University of Maribor, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Slovenia) and a high-tech SME Prensilia SRL (Italy).
