At TechConnect Adlershof, scientific institutions, innovators, and companies discussed how new materials enable a circular economy. :
When someone like Patrick Teuffel matter-of-factly uses the words “ongoing progress” to describe the workings of his industry - instead of the ubiquitous “ongoing process” – it says very clearly something about how…
A conversation about 25 years of the high-brilliance radiation source in Adlershof:
BESSY II is a synchrotron, a storage ring, a high-brilliance radiation source. Or as Bernd Rech puts it: a high-tech X-ray microscope. For 25 years, it has been helping researchers from all over the world to uncover…
HZB team investigated properties of molybdenum disulphide that can function as a photocatalyst in green hydrogen production:
Molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂) is a highly versatile material that can function, for example, as a gas sensor or as a photocatalyst in green hydrogen production. Although the understanding of a material usually starts…
With the open source software SpiceEV, the Reiner Lemoine Institute has found a way for electric cars to support the power grid as rolling storage units:
Electric vehicles not only draw electricity from the grid, they can also help make more electricity from renewable energies usable. They serve as rolling storage units and offer high potential for load-side…

IKZ hosted the 12th German-French Workshop on Oxide, Dielectric and Laser single crystals (WODIL 2023):
Around 40 researchers from Germany, France, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Italy and Latvia gathered at the WODIL 2023 to discuss research involving oxide, chalcogenide and halide single crystals. These are used as…
MBI team has investigated dynamic electrical properties in polar liquids using ultrafast two-dimensional spectroscopy in the THz frequency range:
An electron and the surrounding cloud of solvent dipoles couple through electric forces and can undergo joint collective motions. Such many-body excitations in the terahertz (THz) frequency range are called polarons…
Study by HZB and TU Berlin reveals a promising approach to lowering the cost of solar hydrogen production:
It already works: there are several approaches to using solar energy to split water and produce hydrogen. Unfortunately, this green hydrogen has so far been more expensive than grey hydrogen from natural gas. A study…
Honoured research team has brought tandem solar cells a step closer to industrial pilot production:
Tandem solar cells achieve high efficiencies: by combining two different types of solar cells, more sunlight is converted into electricity. PV manufacturer Qcells and a HZB team led by Dr. Kári Sveinbjörnsson and Bor…
The European Quantum Technology Conference takes place in Hannover from October 16 to 20, 2023:

Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung (IKZ) is intensifying its cooperation with Dr. Eberl MBE-Komponenten GmbH by entering into supply agreements for high-purity semiconductor materials:
Quantum technologies will change the world. Calculation capacities of computers, the performance of simulations and the precision of sensor systems and optics will be raised to a whole new level. This requires…
A research team from Adlershof is developing a reliable method for lithium-ion batteries:
When Dalia Morcillo hits buttons, the laboratory at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) starts to flash and squeak. The narrow room is jam-packed with scientific devices and measurement…
Eva Unger researches a class of minerals known as perovskites:
They can be made to emit light – or used for generating electricity. Perovskites are semiconductors, and as such are ideally suited for use in electronic components. They are being investigated by the materials…
The scientist was honored by Minister of Education Bettina Stark-Watzinger for Entrepreneurial Commitment:
The member of IRIS Adlershof, Professor Stefan Hecht, Founding Director of the Center for the Science of Materials Berlin (CSMB) at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, was honored on September 6, along with 19 other…
The scientist was honored with the award for his exceptional achievements in the field of crystal growth:
