Tuning the energy gap
What is already established for inorganic semiconductors stays a challenge for their organic counterparts: Tuning the energy gap by blending different semiconducting molecules to optimize device performance. Now, scientists from e-conversion and colleagues demonstrated how to reach this goal.
Play it safe: A microscopic perspective towards durable solid state batteries
The ions in a solid state battery need to travel through multiple material interfaces which comes along with several challenges. e-conversion scientists and colleagues now shows that nano-scale coating at these interfaces may in fact stabilize the battery.
Graphene unlocks its potential for superresolution microscopy
Scientists from e-conversion have unlocked the full potential of graphene for fluorescence microscopy - with a resolution world record of 3 nanometer. This might turn graphene into the new standard platform for microscopy.
New e-conversion student board
We congratulate the newly elected student board of our Graduate Program! And we are looking forward to your ideas for talks, workshops and other events.
Molecular tuning: Evolution in fast forward
Biologists led by Dario Leister want to give photosynthesis a helping hand. To increase yields, they are using algae to accelerate the genetic adaptation of crop plants to environmental changes.
Women in Science – Video series
“You are a professor? And in chemistry???” See what else Corinna Hess has experienced as being a female scientist - in the second edition our video series "Women in Science".
Outstanding catalysis research
Our member Prof. Johannes A. Lercher was awarded the Alwin Mittasch Prize 2021 of the German Catalysis Society for his complete works and its high industrial relevance.
Highly Cited Researchers
Every year a list is published with researchers who are ranked in the top 1% by citations in their field. In 2020 among them were four e-conversion members.

A full success: The first Munich School Labs Days
On the first Munich School Lab Days e-conversion presented its school program to about 60 teachers. Our cluster is one of the founders of the MUC-labs association organising the event.
Small molecules that behave like helical springs
Tightly wound nanomolecules respond to external forces faster than classical springs - discovered by e-conversion scientists. They can be extended and rapidly return to their original form releasing mechanical energy.
