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.
Scientists have discovered an exciting new approach to generating clean hydrogen energy using a remarkable class of crystals that harness the quantum properties of electrons.
Claudia Felser has been awarded the prestigious Von Hippel Award by the Materials Research Society. She is also, once again, listed as Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher. These recognitions are a testament to her ground-breaking contributions to the field of materials science, particularly in the area of topological quantum materials.
PhD student Fatma Aras was awarded with Best Poster Prize for her scientific work entitled "Mo2TMB2 (TM: Fe, Co, Ni) as cathodes for water electrolysis".
