Nanoparticles strengthen magnesium
03-09-2012
Materials scientists of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht develop new magnesium materials for vehicles, airplanes and satellitesin the EU-project EXOMET, which is coordinated by the European Space Agency (ESA). The European Union funds the ambitious project with 10 million Euro, 27 partners ...
Hydrogen as alternative to petrol: Scientists research boron in tanks
18-05-2012
The European Technology Initiative, “Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking” (FCH JU), is providing approx 2.3 million euro of finance for the development of new hydrogen solid-state containers on the basis of boron hydrides.These compounds absorb much more hydrogen, the tanks remain ...
Addition of rare earths influences the behaviour of sheet metal
Junior Scientist Award for Magnesium Researcher
03-05-2012
Lennart Stutz, a magnesium researcher at the Helmholtz Centre Geesthacht, was awarded a young scientist prize for the best publication of the year 2011,at the Annual Meeting of the international “Minerals, Metals & Materials Society” (TMS) which was held in Orlando, Florida in March of this ...
Hard or soft: at the touch of a button New nano material switches properties as required
08-06-2011
A world premiere: a material which changes its strength, virtually at the touch of a button. This transformation can be achieved in a matter of seconds through changes in the electron structure of a material; thus hard and brittle matter, for example, can become soft and malleable. What makes ...
GKSS scientists refute argument of climate skeptics
The global increase of warmer years is no accident
13-01-2009
Between 1880 and 2006 the average global annual temperature was about 15°C. However, in the years after 1990 the frequency of years when this average value was exceeded increased. The GKSS Research Centre asks: is it an accident that the warmest 13 years were observed after 1990, or does this ...
Stirred, not struck: New riveting process from GKSS
01-12-2008
Intensive research into new processes and materials is carried out in the transport industry and in aircraft manufacturing with the objective of reducing the weights of vehicles and airplanes. The trend in these areas is towards the use of polymer-metal hybrid structures so-called ...
Using Nanotechnology to Create High-performance Materials
25-07-2008
The GKSS Research Centre in Geesthacht is coordinating a European project for the development of new plastics. The project is being coordinated from Geesthacht by the director of the Institute of Polymer Research, Prof. Volker Abetz. "One of the aims of our first meeting will be to discuss ...
Smart plastics change shape with light
18-04-2005
Picture a flower that opens when facing the sunlight. In work that mimics that sensitivity to light, an MIT engineer and German colleagues have created the first plastics that can be deformed and temporarily fixed in a second, new shape by illumination with light having certain wavelengths. ...
