New insights for the development of functional magnetic materials
3D magnetic field experiment at BESSY II takes spintronics a step further:
(Fe0.63Ni0.3Pd0.07)3P or FNPP is a magnetic material that exhibits complex magnetic structures even at room temperature. This makes the material of interest for spintronics, a field that could enable data processing…
BESSY II is proving its worth – as shown by the impact analysis carried out by DIW Econ
Every euro invested in BESSY yields three euros for Germany, and as many as ten euros for the State of Berlin:
An impact analysis by DIW Econ demonstrates the scientific and economic value of BESSY II. Every euro invested yields three euros for Germany and as much as ten euros for the State of Berlin. Furthermore, the study…
Adlershof, acne and astronauts
JenLab technology offers countless potential applications and is used worldwide:
Its customers range from the European Space Agency (ESA) and global companies such as L’Oréal, Shiseido, Colgate-Palmolive and Procter & Gamble to leading clinics in Boston, Brisbane and Berlin. JenLab was named…
Laser Passion at the Ferdinand-Braun-Institut, Leibniz-Institut für Höchstfrequenztechnik (FBH)
Susann-Alice Seeger is working on a light-based weapon against bacteria:
The tiny beasts can hide away in the deepest recesses. But they don’t stand a chance. A glass fibre can reach them in the remote corners of the nose or throat, where they like to lurk. A pulse of light at a wavelength…
Comprehensive EUV optical constants dataset published
Result of an international collaboration led by PTB and involving eight partner institutions:
Optical constants, as fundamental material parameters, form an important basis for the development and optimisation of optical components, including applications in semiconductor lithography, at synchrotron and…
Modular concept brings rail and road transport closer together
The EU project Pods4Rails has developed new approaches to connected mobility:
As part of the EU Pods4Rail project, the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) has developed an innovative, automated mobility concept together with collaborators from research and…
Two attosecond flashes capture electrons in motion
Researchers at the Max Born Institute have developed a table-top technique in which attosecond pulses both initiate and probe electronic motion:
Using all-attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, the team resolved the oscillatory motion of an electron vacancy (an electronic “hole”) in xenon ions with a period of about three femtoseconds. The results have…
Five Berlin-based research institutions join forces in data-driven materials research
Long-term collaboration agreed in the fields of research data, data infrastructures and AI:
Research data is regarded as key to materials research in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). Five Berlin-based research institutions have now signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish long-term…
Designing mobility for older people – DLR identifies need for action
A study from the DLR Transport Research reveals older people’s requirements for safe, understandable and accessible mobility services:
The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) has conducted a study into the transport needs of people in their mid-60s and older. The study also analysed how current mobility services…
OptecNet Germany moves to Berlin
Umbrella organisation for optical technologies with new headquarters in Adlershof:
OptecNet Germany has relocated its headquarters to Berlin. With its new location, the association aims to be closer to federal policymakers and strengthen its dialogue with ministries and other key stakeholders. The…
PLATO space telescope – electronics ready for space
Telescope has passed all the necessary tests ahead of its planned launch in March 2027:
The PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) mission from the European Space Agency (ESA) has successfully completed its electromagnetic compatibility tests – and the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches…
Europe’s only gallium-oxide semiconductor producer raises €2M
Berlin-based Deeptech Startup NextGO Epi has received funding to become a global leader in next-generation power semiconductors:
NextGO Epi, a Berlin-based deep tech startup spun off from Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung (IKZ), producing Gallium Oxide epitaxial wafers for next-generation power electronics, has secured a €2 million pre-seed…
New contact material boosts the efficiency of perovskite solar cells
The new carborane-based material improves efficiency and stability; it has since been patented and is already commercially available:
A newly developed material for the electron contact improves the efficiency of single perovskite solar cells and perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells. The new material is based on a carborane molecule. It offers…
DFG continues to fund the HU project consortium FAIRmat until the end of 2038
In the new funding period, FAIRmat is placing greater emphasis on AI for data-driven science:
FAIRmat is a consortium for data infrastructure in the materials sciences, which has been coordinated by Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (HU) since its foundation in 2021. It forms part of the National Research Data…
Precision interface chemistry pushes the efficiency of perovskite solar cells
At HySPRINT at the HZB, the optimisation of solar cells will be significantly accelerated in future by autonomous robotic systems:
An international research collaboration has developed a new molecular strategy for controlling one of the most critical interfaces in perovskite solar cells. The resulting solar cells reached a power conversion…
