Anisotropic microbubbles open up forward-looking possibilities for ultrasound imaging and drug delivery . An international research team led by Anshuman Dasgupta and Twan Lammers from the Institute for Experimental Molecular Imaging at RWTH Aachen University has succeeded for the first time in generating stable non-spherical microbubbles.

Unique Cooperation between LG Energy Solution, MEET Battery Research Center and Helmholtz Institute Münster Since the middle of last year, MEET Battery Research Center at the University of Münster and Helmholtz Institute Münster (HI MS) of Forschungszentrum Jülich cooperate with LG Energy Solution (LGES), a leading international manufacturer of battery cells.

Researchers from Giessen and Münster publish detailed analysis of prospects for the development of solid-state batteries / Review in Nature Energy Research into electrochemical energy storage devices and their development are among those fields of material sciences in which most work is being done worldwide.

Neutrons make movement of ions visible A research team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has discovered a material class with above-average conductivity. This is a decisive step forward in the development of high-performance solid-state batteries. Investigations conducted at the Research Neutron Source Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II) made an essential contribution to the discovery.

Stable boards can be made from a waste product of the wood industry without glue Tree bark may be suitable as a similarly versatile material as wood. A research team at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam has pressed tree bark into boards that have similar mechanical properties to particleboard, but do not contain any adhesive.

Phosphazene-Based Electrolyte Additives Stabilize Silicon-Based Lithium-Ion Batteries Silicon (Si) is considered a promising anode material in next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIB). Its practical application has so far been hindered by challenges such as capacity losses during battery operation.
