During the 4st International and 7th Asian Conference on Thermoelectrics 2025 (June 2025, Sendai, Japan), Professor Yuri Grin, Director em. at the Max-Planck-Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids, was honoured by the ITS Outstanding Achievement in Thermoelectrics Award.
Congratulations and welcome to Jan Knapp, who has been awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship to work in the Physics of Quantum Matter Department of MPI CPfS.
Claudia Felser, Director and Scientific Member at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden, has been named the European Laureate of the 2025 L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science International Awards.
An international team has pioneered a nano-3D printing method to create superconducting nanostructures, leading to groundbreaking technological advancements.
In a revolutionary study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids have unveiled a new catalyst to significantly enhance the efficiency of the Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR) crucial for energy conversion systems like fuel cells and metal-air batteries.
Congratulations to Rikako Yamamoto, who has been awarded an Overseas Research Fellowships by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) in the Spin3D group!
The application of a weak magnetic field can significantly improve the cooling performance of topological materials at low temperatures. This breakthrough has been published in Nature Materials by an international team of researchers from the MPI CPfS, Chongqing University and the Max Planck Institute for Microstructure Physics.
The macroscopic properties of a material are determined by its composition and microstructure. Researchers have developed a new technique to map three-dimensional nanoscale orientation fields across the volume of materials, opening the possibility to understand the evolution of nanoscale variations in microstructure and ferroic order within a wide variety of materials.
