- New approach to detect 'forever chemicals' in water
Scientists at the University of Birmingham in collaboration with scientists from the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) have developed a new approach for detecting pollution fro...
- pharmaceutical production without solvents and CO2 emissions
The Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) is developing a more sustainable process to produce active pharmaceutical ingredients in a major EU project: The pilot project is intended... - EU research project: Novel nanocoatings guard against viruses and bacteria
An EU research project led by the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) and the University of Birmingham is developing nanocoatings that inactivate viruses and bacteria. This shoul... - New OECD test guideline for determining the particle size of nanomaterials
The OECD has published a new test guideline for the measurement of spherical and fibrous nanomaterials. It is an important building block for the implementation of legal requirements for chemicals,... - Innovative nanomaterials to improve performance of semiconductors
The Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) is researching new nanomaterials for semiconductor technology in three EU joint projects. The goal is to precisely determine the propertie...
- Methods for quantitative measurements of luminescent materials
Tiny luminescent particles are used in more and more products today: from smartphones to OLED televisions to car headlights. For industry, exact knowledge of the luminescence efficiency is crucial.... - Luminescent nanocrystals: new method for quantitative measurements of luminescent materials
Luminescent materials are finding more and more applications in daily life: They are used in medical technology in diagnostic procedures, in photovoltaics, in security codes on banknotes, in the di... - Toxicity of micro- and nanoplastics
Particularly fibrous particles of micro- and nanoplastics are suspected of being harmful. They enter the human body via the air we breathe or the food we eat. Initial data indicate that they could ...
- New joint project "Innovation Platform MaterialDigitial"
How should scientific process creation and product development evolve in the future? How will we provide new insights to colleagues, who might work on the other side of the planet? Funded by the Ge...
- Research project aims to more accurately detect microplastics in the water
A new joint research project headed by the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) wants to find out how microplastics end up in the water. The project aims to optimise representativ...
- Origami nanostructures to track individual molecules
One of chemistry's greatest challenges is investigating reaction mechanisms at the level of single molecules. This can be performed using Raman spectroscopy - provided that molecules and metallic n... - Rapid test for the surface of stainless steel
Whether it is a car, a skyscraper or a bridge: stainless steel is used almost everywhere in our daily life. Its corrosion resistance is important so that no safety risk arises. Stainless steels can... - Measuring without gravity
On Friday, April 7, 2017, the research rocket MAXUS-9 successfully launched from the Esrange rocket launch site near Kiruna in northern Sweden. After 12 minutes of weightlessness, the scientific pa... - Update: Dangerous Good Database
The Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) has now released the new version of the "Dangerous Goods Database" (Datenbank Gefahrgut, DGG). Version 11.0 incorporates all regulations t...
- Van Gogh's yellow stays - Petition banning cadmium in artist's paints finds no support
Paul Gauguin used it, so did William Turner, Vincent van Gogh, Auguste Renoir, Max Slevogt, the series could go on. Cadmium yellow in artist's paints has been used in painting since 1829, cadmium r...
- New rapid test for stainless steel surfaces
KorroPad is the name given to a new rapid colour test developed at BAM Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing that enables stainless steel surfaces to be tested inexpensively and rapi... - New rapid test for evaluating fluoride in drinking water
The addition of fluoride to drinking water or toothpaste is widespread and is mainly used for dental health and as a preventative measure against bone diseases. However, an excessively high concent... - Non-destructive testing methods cannot securely expose fake art
Analysis methods are only capable of clearly detecting fakes when non-contemporary materials are detected in artefacts. However, if the forgers have used substances whose contemporary use is descri... - New standards for microarrays
Traceable tests are an absolute necessity in many areas of science. The results must be comparable regardless of whether the test was carried out in laboratory A or B. However, an investigation by ...
