Olfa D’Angelo, Geovane de Jesus Rodrigues and Nadja Al Akkam were at the Large Diameter Centrifuge (LDC) for testing the effect of hypergravity on the behavior of granular materials similar to the soil found on the Moon surface.
NDR Nordmagazin reported on the Deep Sea Sampling research project. The Institute of Fluid Mechanics (LSTM) together with four strong partners is developing a mining tool that can execute mining with almost surgical precision leading to the lowest possible ecological footprint.
The fourth edition of Prof. Jürgen Karl's book "Decentralized Energy Systems" has been published by De Gruyter Oldenbourg just in time for the new year. Alongside conventional energy technologies for the generation of heat and electricity, this new edition describes above all combined heat and power (CHP), innovative technologies such as fuel cells, and the use of renewable energies.
A novel modular opto-biomechatronics bioreactor for simultaneous isotropic mechanical stretch application and fluorescence microscopy has been engineered at the Institute of Medical Biotechnology.
Maximilian Weitzer, member of the Chair of Energy Process Engineering, has received the Best Paper Award of the 7th International Seminar on Organic Rankine Cycle Power Systems (ORC 2023) for his paper "Reversible heat pump-ORC pilot plant – Experimental results and fluid charge optimisation". Congratulations!
Dr. Patrick Schühle from the Chair of Chemical Reaction Engineering and his new junior research group hope to succeed in developing a procedure for generating very pure hydrogen from biological waste.
The German Research Foundation has just announced that CRC1411 will receive funding for a second research period until 2028. The long-term vision of CRC1411 is to develop particle systems with controlled size, shape and composition.
According to a recent study, thirteen researchers at the Department CBI belong to the top two percent of the most frequently cited academics worldwide. Prof. Thommes is once again among the top 50 in the field of Chemical Physics. Congratulations!
Prof. Dr. Karl Mayrhofer has been awarded a Synergy Grant, one of the most prestigious grants awarded by the European Research Council, for his work on electrocatalysis.
