Hans-Georg Steinrück, an invited speaker at the DPG Symposium “Correlative and in situ Microscopy in Materials Research” coorganized by GRK 1896 receives 2019 Spicer Award for energy storage research at SLAC’s X-ray synchrotron. The award emphasizes how important in situ methods are to tackle one... Continue

In a recent paper published in ACS Nano, researchers from particle technology and theory have worked together with CENEM and it's research training group members to decrypt the free energy landscape of colloidal clusters in sphere confinement, using the model system of polystyrene (PS) particles. Th... Continue

The GRK 1896 is very proud, that our member Peter Schweizer has received first place out of 63 in the teaching evaluation of the technical faculty (category VP5) for the lecture “Rasterelektronenmikroskopie in der Materialforschung”. The lecture pretty much deals with the central techniques utilized... Continue

Liquid phase electron microscopy is a powerful technique for investigating processes directly on site with high spatial and temporal resolution. This particular in situ technique was shown to be suitable for application in materials sciences, energy storage and biology. In a recent publication, rese... Continue

both hold great promise for applications in nanotechnology, ranging from energy storage to microelectronics. In a recent work "Transforming layered MoS2 into functional MoO2" by CENEM researchers Lilian Vogl, Peter Schweizer, Mingjian Wu and Erdmann Spiecker, published in Nanoscale, a novel approach... Continue

From the 29th of July to 1st of August 2019 the Institute for Crystallography and Structural Physics (ICSP) will host the 5th CENEM Summer School for X-ray Scattering. The school will provide a perfect opportunity to get a detailed insight into theory and practice of several modern scattering method... Continue

The DPG symposium about "Correlative and in situ Microscopy in Materials Research" previously announced on the website was a huge success. All talks were of high quality and often accompanied by lively discussions. The attendance toped around 200 people, never falling below 50. Although the inter... Continue
