Heat storage: Scientists develop material that is stable, efficient and eco-friendly
01-Apr-2022
A new heat storage material could help to significantly improve the energy efficiency of buildings. Developed by researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the University of Leipzig, it can be used to store surplus heat and release it back into the environment when needed. ...
Green chemistry: Scientists develop new process for more eco-friendly liquid crystals
It is faster, more energy-efficient and promises a high yield
03-Mar-2022
Liquid crystals could soon be produced more efficiently and in a more environmentally friendly way. A new process has been developed by researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) in Germany, Bangalore University in India and Cairo University in Egypt. Compared to conventional ...
Researchers show how synthetic rubber raw material can be degraded
The researchers' goal is to be able to break down other similar substances from car tires in the future
13-Dec-2021
Enzymes are capable of degrading synthetic polyisoprene. The specific conditions for that have now been created and exploited by researchers at Martin Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry (IPB). Polyisoprene is the principal component of natural ...
Turbo boost for materials research
Researchers train AI to predict new compounds
10-Dec-2021
A new algorithm has been designed to help discover previously unknown material compounds. It was developed by a team from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), Friedrich Schiller University Jena and Lund University in Sweden. The researchers designed a form of artificial intelligence ...
Researchers develop novel, inexpensive catalysts enabling noble metal chemistry
"With our new approach, we can mimic the interaction of gold and alkyne species at the electron level"
25-Nov-2021
Alkynes have many uses in industry. Until now, it was assumed that gold- or platinum-based catalysts were absolutely necessary for certain chemical reactions with alkynes. Chemists at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) have now succeeded in carrying out the same reactions with ...
Physicists develop miniature terahertz sources
The potential applications of this miniature terahertz source range from medicine, materials testing and communications technology
14-Sep-2021
Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and Freie Universität Berlin have developed a new, simple approach for generating terahertz radiation. Strong optical laser pulses enable terahertz electromagnetic fields to be generated directly at a specific point. The team has ...
Scientists develop alternative cement with low carbon footprint
20-Aug-2021
Researchers at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) in Germany and the Brazilian University of Pará have developed a climate-friendly alternative to conventional cement. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions can be reduced during production by up to two thirds when a previously unused ...
Solar cells: Layer of three crystals produces a thousand times more power
The result surprised even the research group
21-Jul-2021
The photovoltaic effect of ferroelectric crystals can be increased by a factor of 1,000 if three different materials are arranged periodically in a lattice. This has been revealed in a study by researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU). They achieved this by creating ...
Electric cars: Special dyes could prevent unnecessary motor replacements
20-May-2021
One day in the near future dyes in electric motors might indicate when cable insulation is becoming brittle and the motor needs replacing. Scientists at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), together with ELANTAS, a division of the specialty chemicals group ALTANA, have developed a new ...
Researchers produce special nanoparticles and reveal their inner structure for the first time
New single-chain nanoparticles could be used in medicine or as nanoreactors in which chemical reactions take place
12-Feb-2021
Tiny nanoparticles can be furnished with dyes and could be used for new imaging techniques, as chemists and physicists at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) show in a recent study. The researchers have also been the first to fully determine the particles' internal structure. Their ...
