Our latest work on the synthesis of microparticles with built-in fluorescent dyes was featured on the cover of Materials Advances! Credit goes to the creative minds behind the chemistry and graphics: Nils Steinbrück, Svenja Pohl, and Michal Pachnicz. Read more here: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Creating cover art with minimal artistic skills isn’t easy - especially when trying to capture a whole research study in one image. It’s a visual puzzle. Can you guess what the paper is about just from the image?

From lab to product!
Together with KTF GmbH and Schill+Seilacher – Struktol, we’ve developed a new one-component silicone resin in a ZIM project.
Perfect for optical lenses & sensor parts needing heat resistance and high transparency.

We are excited to present our latest study on the mechanochemical reduction of Nb₂O₅! In this work, Anna Michaely and Elias Gießelmann from my group investigate how boron hydrides behave differently than alkali metal hydrides as reducing agents during milling. www.mdpi.com/3329052

Neue Staffel der interdisziplinären Vorlesungsreihe "Raumschiff Erde" an der @uni-saarland.de gestartet!
Im Sommersemester 2025 erkunden wir die vielen Facetten des Themas Nachhaltigkeit. Alle Interessierten sind herzlich eingeladen. Programm und Infos: tinyurl.com/RSEarthSoSe25
