The FAIRmat consortium of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) has developed a new web-based application, the Catalysis App, for managing standardized experimental catalysis data. This work is now reported in the journal Nature Catalysis. The Catalysis App allows researchers to share, explore, and analyze data and provides a foundation for artificial-intelligence-driven discovery of more

Researchers at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin develop molecular photoswitches that use light to adjust mechanical strain, enabling on-demand control of chemical reactions.Graphic (molecule and clamps) by First Author Tom Bösking (modified) Controlling exactly when and where chemical reactions take place remains one of the central challenges in modern chemistry. Heat, mixing, or catalysts typically affect entire

Nikolai Severin, Filippo Giovanni Fabozzi, and colleagues investigated the supramolecular organization of Y6 – a widely used non-fullerene acceptor in organic solar cells – and found that co-deposition with small donor molecules leads to formation of a series of donor–acceptor two-dimensional interfacial cocrystals. The novel supramolecular structures have been thoroughly investigated by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy

Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften im CSMB Das fantastische Kinderlabor Willkommen im fantastischen Kinderlabor! In Laborkittel, Schutzbrille und Handschuhen schlüpfen Kinder in die Rolle echter Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler. In einer Miniatur-Glovebox mischen sie bunte „chemische“ Lösungen und bauen eine 3D-gedruckte Solarzelle – spielerisch und hands-on entdecken sie so, wie Forschung funktioniert und wie Solarenergie entsteht. Foyer;

How can these expectations be met? A research team from

Researchers at Humboldt-Universität develop unusual strategy to increase battery performance Led by Prof. Dr. Nicola Pinna, member of the CSMB, and Dr. Patrícia Russo, scientists have succeeded in disrupting the atomic order of batteries in a targeted manner. Just two weeks after Prof. Philipp Adelhelm presented a new strategy to accelerate sodium-ion charging via co-intercalation,

The State of Berlin honors the chemist and materials scientist for his research on sustainable batteries Battery researcher Prof. Dr. Philipp Adelhelm was awarded the 2024 Berlin Science Award (original: Berliner Wissenschaftspreis) on July 24. Adelhelm is a professor at the Department of Chemistry at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (HU) and heads a joint research group
