In a recent publication, researchers of CENEMN's associated GRK1896 present in situ investigations of reactions at a solid-liquid-gas interface using liquid cell transmission electron microscopy. The work published open access in Advanced Materials Interfaces (Art. No. 1901027: https://www.onlinelib...

This term's regular seminar of CENEM's research training unit GRK1896 started with an excursion to the largest CT factory in the world. The GRK1896 members got insight into the assembling steps from the on short notice delivery from an logistic partner of the individual parts towards the final produ...

A collaborative "Highly Effective Propane Dehydrogenation Using Ga−Rh Supported Catalytically Active Liquid Metal Solutions" has been recently published in ACS Catalysis. This work was contributed by a team of scientist in Erlangen including Chemists, Experimental/Theoretical Physcists, Materials Sc...

The bi-annual event "Long Night of Science" in Nuremberg, Fuerth and Erlangen was again very success for IMN/CENEM. At the Electron Microscopy facilities alone we welcomed more several hundred people throughout the night. Visitors had the chance to see the Titan Themis3 and learn about research at t...

The PhD defence of CENEM's research unit GRK1896 member Mr. Peter Schweizer took place on 18. Sep. 2019. With his beautiful work of “Manipulation of individual defects in 2D and layered materials”, he has been awarded the title Dr.-Ing. with the top overall grade "summa cum laude" His PhD work ha...

Hans-Georg Steinrück, an invited speaker at the DPG Symposium “Correlative and in situ Microscopy in Materials Research” coorganized by GRK 1896 receives 2019 Spicer Award for energy storage research at SLAC’s X-ray synchrotron. The award emphasizes how important in situ methods are to tackle one...

In a recent paper published in ACS Nano, researchers from particle technology and theory have worked together with CENEM and it's research training group members to decrypt the free energy landscape of colloidal clusters in sphere confinement, using the model system of polystyrene (PS) particles. Th...

Liquid phase electron microscopy is a powerful technique for investigating processes directly on site with high spatial and temporal resolution. This particular in situ technique was shown to be suitable for application in materials sciences, energy storage and biology. In a recent publication, rese...

Transition metal oxides, such as TiO2, ZnO or MoO2, and transition metal chalcogenides like WS2 or MoS2 represent two classes of functional materials, both hold great promise for applications in nanotechnology, ranging from energy storage to microelectronics. In a recent work "Transforming layered M...

A kick-off meeting between the CENEM microscopy group headed by Prof. Spiecker and OICE (Optical Imaging Center Erlangen) headed by Dr. Palmisano was held in a relaxed atmosphere in late afternoon 28 of May. After an one hour introduction to the respective institutes, around 40 attendees had intense...
