Our PIs Michael Engel, Andreas P. Fröba and Matthias Thommes, our Vice Spokesperson Martin Hartmann, first funding period Spokesperson Wolfgang Peukert and designated second funding period Spokesperson Nicolas Vogel are among the top 2% cited scientists according to the prestigious Stanford List. Th...
Prof. Vogel's lecture "Grenzflächen in der Verfahrenstechnik" was again on the podium as one of the best rated lectures in the whole Technical Faculty! In this class Nicolas Vogel discusses interfaces in materials and process technologies, with plenty of examples from nature and technology. Read mo...
The 2023 Nobel Prize for chemistry has been awarded to Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus and Aleksey Ekimov for their discovery of quantum dots, nanoparticles that are so small that their physical size determines the quantum mechanical states of the material’s charge carriers. Quantum dots constitute a new...
At PARTEC 2023, held from 26 - 28 September 2023, several of our researchers presented the results achieved during the first funding period with the particle technology community.
During the event, Johannes Walter was awarded the prestigious Löffler Prize.
Our PIs W. Peukert, K. Mandel, D. Segets and N. Vogel contribute with invited talks to the Ostwald Colloquium "Interface-mediated Processes in Soft Matter", taking place in Darmstadt from September 13th to September 15th. In their talks, the PIs highlight the results of the first funding period.
CRC1411 research combines the strength of simulation predictions with cutting edge characterization technique to discover new materials. In a collaboration between project D04 and C01, and researchers of Indiana University, simulated crystalline structures were finally observed experimentally.
In...
CRC 1411 PI and managing director Johannes Walter will receive the Friedrich-Löffler-Prize 2023 of the VDI – The Association of German Engineers – for his outstanding developments of novel tools for multidimensional characterization of nanoparticles. His contributions to both fundamental science and...
CRC 1411 PI and Vice-Spokesperson Martin Hartmann will receive the Klaus-Unger-Award 2024 of the Zeolite division of DECHEMA for his work on porous solids, which has resulted in "ground-breaking progress in the synthesis and application of these materials". His work has inspired and shaped the zeol...
Using gold nanocrystal seeds to guide the growth of silver patches, CRC 1411 scientists have unlocked a scalable way to produce a rainbow of tunable nanoparticles, opening the door to a range of applications.
