- Multimodal electron microscopy enables comprehensive insights into organic solar cells
How do organic solar cells work on the inside? The answer lies in structures far too small to see-and difficult to access even with advanced techniques. So far, researchers have relied mainly on X-...
- Novel memristors to overcome AI's "catastrophic forgetting"
They consume extremely little power and behave similarly to brain cells: so-called memristors. Researchers from Jülich, led by Ilia Valov, have now introduced novel memristive components in Nature ... - Better Performance of Lanthanum Strontium Manganite-Based Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells
Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOECs) are efficient electrochemical devices that convert electrical energy into chemical energy by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, or carbon dioxide into ...
- Mechanism of Cobalt-Manganese Catalysts Deciphered
The energy carrier hydrogen can be obtained from water by electrolysis. This works particularly well with Cobalt spinel electrocatalysts containing manganese. However, it was unclear why. Conven... - New material paves the way to On-Chip Energy Harvesting
Researchers from Germany, Italy, and the UK have achieved a major advance in the development of materials suitable for on-chip energy harvesting. By composing an alloy made of silicon, germanium an... - Rising temperatures affect air quality
Particulate matter and ozone are a major problem for people and the environment. Dr. Eva Pfannerstill, young investigator group leader at Jülich's Institute of Energy and Climate Research (IEK 8), ... - New Consortium Aims to Develop More Sustainable Sodium-based Batteries
The batteries of the future must be both powerful and sustainable. A new joint project, coordinated by the University of Würzburg, aims to make sodium-ion batteries ready to fulfill for these requi...
- Simulation provides images from the carbon nucleus
What does the inside of a carbon atom's nucleus look like? A new study by Forschungszentrum Jülich, Michigan State University (USA) and the University of Bonn provides the first comprehensive answe... - New Germanium-Tin Transistor as Alternative to Silicon
Scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich have fabricated a new type of transistor from a germanium-tin alloy that has several advantages over conventional switching elements. Charge carriers can move... - Deep look inside biomolecule's structure for better vaccines against multidrug resistant germs
Bacteria which are resistant to all conventional antibiotics cause more than a million deaths each year. Consequently, researchers around the world are searching for new therapeutic approaches to c...
- A new tool for Cryo-Electron Microscopy
Researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich and Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf led by Prof. Dr. Carsten Sachse are using cryo-electron microscopy, or cryo-EM for short, to make biomolecules visib... - A new rule for orbital formation in chemical reactions
Squeaky, cloudy or spherical - electron orbitals show where and how electrons move around atomic nuclei and molecules. In modern chemistry and physics, they have proven to be a useful model for qua... - Optimization of mRNA containing nanoparticles
The research neutron source Hein Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is playing an important role in the investigation of mRNA nanoparticles similar to the ones used...
- New state of matter: crystalline and flowing at the same time
More than 20 years ago, researchers predicted that with sufficiently high density certain particles of matter would form a new state of matter that features the properties of both crystalline solid... - Breakthrough in Magnonics? Discovery of a New Property in Quantum Materials
Jülich/Garching/Grenoble, 13. September 2021. Scientists from Jülich, together with colleagues from Germany, France and China, have discovered a new property in quantum materials offering great pot... - A unique scanning tunnelling microscope with magnetic cooling to study quantum effects
Scanning tunnelling microscopes capture images of materials with atomic precision and can be used to manipulate individual molecules or atoms. Researchers have been using the instruments for many y... - Research with Neutrons for Better mRNA Medicines
If not before, then certainly since the first messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines to combat the SARS CoV2 virus were approved in Germany, mRNA has become a recognized term even outside scientific circles... - Fundamental study on the Kondo effect called into question
The Kondo effect influences the electrical resistance of metals at low temperatures and generates complex electronic and magnetic orders. Novel concepts for data storage and processing, such as usi...
- Atomistic picture of platinum catalyst degradation
Degradation of platinum, used as a key electrode material in the hydrogen economy, severely shortens the lifetime of electrochemical energy conversion devices, such as fuel cells. For the first tim... - Molecular basis of CLC transporter inhibition by fluoride
The binding of protons and their transport through the cell membrane are crucial steps for many cellular processes. CLC chloride/proton transporters are present in almost every living cell and regu...
- Sensing magnetism in atomic resolution with just a scanning tunneling microscope
Scientists from the University of Strasbourg, France, in close collaboration with colleagues from the research centers in San Sebastián, Spain, and Jülich, Germany, have achieved a breakthrough in ... - New Quantum Dot Microscope Shows Electric Potentials of Individual Atoms
A team of researchers from Jülich in cooperation with the University of Magdeburg has developed a new method to measure the electric potentials of a sample at atomic accuracy. Using conventional me... - Microscopic Protective Covering for Better Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are far superior to other rechargeable battery systems due to their long lifetime and high energy density. However, for many applications, such as electric cars, they still fa... - New insights into aerosol formation in the atmosphere
