- Improving the environmental footprint of polystyrene through innovative material additives
Polystyrene is one of the most important plastics worldwide, but it is still considered far from sustainable. Its production relies on fossil resources, requires large amounts of energy, and the ma... - Sustainable lightweight construction with magnesium and seashell
For the first time, researchers at Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon have produced a magnesium foam made entirely from natural marine raw materials. No toxic additives are required for its production. G... - New X-ray method promises advances in histology
Histological tissue sections are part of everyday medical practice. With the help of dyes, they reveal tissue structures and pathological changes. However, the method requires labor-intensive steps...
- The chemical composition of the sea off Greenland
As part of the EU project ECOTIP, an international team of researchers, including the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, has analyzed the sea off Greenland more comprehensively than ever before. The key que... - Environmentally friendly options for offshore hydrogen production
Green hydrogen is a key part of the energy transition. In the coming years, it'll be made in wind farms in the German Bight. With recent technology, this process creates waste heat and brine, which...
- Making scattered light usable for X-ray imaging in the nanometer range
X-ray microscopes are essential for examining components and materials because they can be used to detect changes and details in the material. Until now, however, it has been difficult to detect sm...
- Thermophotovoltaics: new resistant emitter based on iridium
Together with the Technical University of Hamburg and Aalborg University, researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon have developed a new selective emitter based on iridium for thermophotovoltai...
- A newly developed analysis method for plastic particles and fibers
Samples from the tropical Indian Ocean were investigated by researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon using a new method for extraction and identification of microplastic particles from water sam... - Perfluorinated Chemicals: Pollution is underestimated
Per- and polyfluorinated chemicals (PFAS) can have harmful effects on human health and the environment. They are still used in numerous everyday products. Together with an international team of ... - Flame-retardants and plasticizers found in the oceans
After the successful ban of the flame-retardant substances called PBDEs in the early 2000s, it got replaced by another problematic chemical group called Organophosphate esters (OPEs). Since then th...
