Not science fiction, but a publication by e-conversion members: microswimmers that steer through biological fluids as blood and take up and release cargo on demand - propelled forward by light.

With the beginning of 2022 we had to say goodbye to Dr. Jacek Stolarczyk who has accepted a professorship at Krakau University. But we can also welcome a new scientist in our cluster: Prof. Ivana Ivanović-Burmazović.

Can we still reach the 1.5 degree global warming limit? This podcast episode by the CLICCS Cluster Hamburg investigates how the climate changes and how society changes with it, thereby feeding back on climate.

Prof. Aliaksandr Bandarenka has published a new textbook on Energy Materials. It is suited for students and scientists starting in the field of functional materials for energy applications.

Entanglement, superposition, quantum cryptography....: Get an inside into the basics of quantum physics - given by two top researchers of the Munich quantum cluster MCQST.

The e-conversion lectures series “Energy of the Future” is now available online. Watch or listen to the talks whenever and wherever you are!

Jennifer Rupp last worked at the MIT and now holds a professorship on Solid-State Electrolyte Chemistry at TU Munich. We wish her a good start!

The new episode of the podcast "Exzellent erklärt" deals with the way children and their education are affected by the pandemic. Listen in!

This time with the Tübingen Cluster CMFI and "Bacteria in the Gut - How Drugs Affect our Microbiome". Listen in!

e-conversion attracts more and more top scientists: We warmly welcome two new members, Prof. Knut Müller-Caspary and Dr. Thomas Lunkenbein!

Finally! Science communication live again at the FORSCHA 2021 in Munich! We really enjoyed to present our research to the public and hope to see you again next year.

Not as planned at the conference in Venice, but at home in Munich: In September 2021 the e-conversion PhD students discussed their research projects - and no less enthusiastically!

At the Kunstareal-Fest we offered an experiment booth for kids. Enthusiastically they built batteries with lemons, pickles or graphite. The next generation of experts in renewable energy is growing up!

"Plasmonic Catalysis: From Fundamentals to Applications" is the title of a brand-new book by e-conversion member Emiliano Cortes and his colleague Pedro H.H. Camargo. Have a look...

We are happy that again two of our members host Fischer Senior Fellows within a renown TUM-IAS program. Together they will explore new topics in the field of energy conversion.

What is established for inorganic semiconductors stays a challenge for the organic ones: Tuning the energy gap by blending different molecules for an optimized performance. Here´s how it can work...

The ions in a solid state battery need to travel through multiple material interfaces which comes along with several challenges. Nano-scale coating at these interfaces may stabilize the battery.

With a resolution world record of 3 nm our scientists unlocked the full potential of graphene for fluorescence microscopy. This might turn graphene into a new standard platform for microscopy. 

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.
