- Storing and processing HCl for safer, more sustainable Hydrogen and Base Chemical production
A research team at Freie Universität Berlin led by Professor Sebastian Hasenstab-Riedel has successfully developed a method for storing and electrolyzing gaseous hydrogen chloride in the form of an... - Signs of life detectable in single ice grains emitted from moons orbiting Saturn and Jupiter
The ice-encrusted oceans of some of the moons orbiting Saturn and Jupiter are prime candidates in the search for extraterrestrial life. A new lab-based study led by Freie Universität Berlin and the...
- Study warning against the unknown long-term consequences of microplastic particles in soil
Plastic is everywhere in the environment, and while earlier research efforts dealt predominantly with the ocean and aquatic systems, more recently the soil has increasingly come into focus, especia...
- Spintronics: miniature terahertz sources
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 ena...
- Radiography and Tomography of Egyptian Papyri
Researchers from the Egyptian Museum and Papyrus Collection, Berlin universities and Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin studied a small piece of papyrus that was excavated on the island of Elephantine on the...
- Identification of a key molecule for the neurotransmitter release in synapses
The contact areas between nerve cells are called synapses. What happens there lies at the heart of communication between nerve cells. Communication starts with the release of chemical messengers kn... - Chemically tailored Graphene
Graphene is considered as one of the most promising new materials. However, the systematic insertion of chemically bound atoms and molecules to control its properties is still a major challenge. No...
- Charge transport in polymeric carbon nitride detailed for first time
Polymeric carbon nitride is an organic material with interesting optoelectronic properties. As an inexpensive photocatalyst, it can be used to facilitate water splitting using sunlight. Joint resea... - Camera for the Nano-Cosmos by combinin near-field optical microscopy and ultra-fast spectroscopy
To gain even deeper insights into the smallest of worlds, the thresholds of microscopy must be expanded further. Scientists at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and the TU Dresden, in... - Research project to convert CO2 into fuels using sunlight and diamond materials
A great new idea is now being investigated by scientists of Germany, France, England, and Sweden, among them HZB's Prof. Emad Aziz. They propose exploring diamond materials for photocatalytic conve...
- New tool for Joint Lab to investigate the chemistry of nature
The Aziz' team at the Joint Laboratory between Freie Universität Berlin and HZB has built a laser-based tabletop setup which generates ultrashort XUV light pulses and achieves their monochromatizat... - Even thinner solar cells through use of nanoparticles
Nanostructures could enable more light to be directed into the active layer of solar cells, increasing their efficiency. Prof. Martina Schmid (HZB und Freie Univ. Berlin) has now measured how irreg...
- Junior professor from Berlin Adlershof receives Bunsen Kirchhoff award 2010
Janina Kneipp junior professor for Optical Sepctroscopy and Process Analytics in the Chemistry Department of Humboldt-Unversität zu Berlin and head of working group at BAM Federal Institute for Mat...
