BAM develops measurement methods for luminescent materials
03-Aug-2021
Tiny luminous particles are being used in more and more products today: from smartphones to OLED televisions to car headlights. Precise knowledge of the luminosity is crucial for industry. The Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) is developing reliable measurement methods ...
Companies in the plastics industry are cautiously optimistic about the future
The exploding prices of raw materials and the shortage of materials due to the chaos in logistics are of great concern.
03-Aug-2021
The plastics industry has recovered from the consequences of the pandemic faster than originally hoped. Companies expect this positive trend to continue. But the mood in the industry is clouded, because: Exploding raw material prices, dramatic material shortages as well as supply bottlenecks due ...
Water detected as a metal at BESSY II
02-Aug-2021
Under normal conditions, pure water is an almost perfect insulator. Water only develops metallic properties under extreme pressure, such as exists at most in the interior of large planets. Now, an international collaboration has used a completely different approach to produce metallic water and ...
Trapped photons make strontium titanate ferroelectric
02-Aug-2021
Photons trapped in a cavity can cause a crystal known as strontium titanate (SrTiO₃) to become ferroelectric, according to a new study by the MPSD’s theory group. The photons that are randomly created and destructed in the vacuum of a cavity – as determined by the laws of quantum mechanics – can ...
Haltermann Carless to become the world's largest Cyclopentane producer
Cyclopentane makes important contribution to energy efficiency
30-Jul-2021
With the completion of the new hydrogenation plant at the German site in Speyer, Haltermann Carless will become the largest Cyclopentane producer worldwide. New capacity volumes will be available to the market from Q1 2022. Haltermann Carless, a company of HCS Group and a leading supplier of ...
LAUDA expands headquarters with office space
Visible sign of growth
30-Jul-2021
With a symbolic laying of the foundation stone, LAUDA DR. R. WOBSER GMBH & CO. KG celebrated the official start of construction for an extension to an existing office building. When the office building with production hall was erected and completed in 2008, an extension had already been planned, ...
Fastest sensor for heat flow tested
Relevant for alternative fuels and hydrogen
30-Jul-2021
A team of researchers from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Landshut University of Applied Sciences has developed a new method to measure the heat flow in combustion engines faster than before. The technique could help reduce pollutant emissions in the future. It is also relevant for the ...
How diphosphorus can be used for chemical reactions
Team from Göttingen and Frankfurt succeeds in stabilisation
29-Jul-2021
Chemical syntheses of new active ingredients or functional materials are based on the use of molecular building blocks. These must be simultaneously reactive but also stable enough to enable targeted incorporation into larger molecules. A research team from the University of Göttingen and the ...

A chromium complex as NIR-II emitter
29-Jul-2021
Substances that emit light in the near infrared (NIR) range are needed for a wide variety of applications, from fibre-optic telecommunications to imaging techniques for biomedicine. A Swiss research team has now for the first time developed a chromium complex that emits light in the coveted ...
Lead-free perovskite solar cells
How fluorine additives improve quality
29-Jul-2021
Tin halide perovskites are currently considered the best alternative to lead-containing analogues, but are still significantly less efficient and stable compared to them. Now, a team led by Prof. Antonio Abate from HZB has analysed the chemical processes in the perovskite precursor solution and ...
