How do you repair the world's smallest machines? Let them do it on their own! A new e-conversion publication gives an example on how this works for DNA origami nano-machines.

Supercapacitors store and release energy very fast but have a low energy density. This might change due to a powerful graphene hybrid material developed by the team of Roland Fischer.

If the stacking structure of the “miracle material” COF is slightly shifted, its properties change dramatically. This happens more often than assumed, as chemists from e-conversion could demonstrate.

We cordially congratulate our member PD Dr. Tayebeh Ameri on being awarded with the Arnold Sommerfeld Prize 2020 by the Bavarian Academy of Science.

One picture - three possible answers. Find the right one and win a solar powered bluetooth loudspeaker. Deadline: 31 January 2021!

Two offers for a W3 professorship reached the e-conversion scientist Alexander Holleitner in 2020. To our delight, he accepted the offer of the TU Munich and remains in the cluster.

Microswimmers are particles that activly move in liquids when supplied with energy. By a new light charging mechanism, they can now move in the dark and get interesting for medicine.

On October 1st, 2020, our member Barbara Lechner, started her new position as W2 tenure track professor. We wish her all the best!

How are electrons “ticking”? And why is their behavior so important for efficient solar cells? Learn more about it in the research portrait of our new member Prof. Frank Ortmann.

Even for experienced catalysts, matchmaking is not always easy. Some partners bind too strong, others leave too early. Read here how a copper electrode solves this problem by itself.
