The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded a ¤2 million Consolidator Grant to Dorota Koziej from the Department of Physics at Universität Hamburg. In her project "A Platform to LINk Between CHemistry and PhysIcs of Colloidal Nanomaterials (LINCHPIN)", Koziej will make radiation sources usable to find out more about the chemical and physical properties of colloidal nanomaterials. Colloids are particles that are finely distributed in liquid. They may only be measurable in nanoor micrometers but today their significance is huge in a range of applications in several areas, including the food and cosmetics industries, solar cells, and energy storage. Modern X-Ray light sources such as the European XFEL are perfectly suited to the investigation of chemical compound reactions and structures. However, hard radiation destroys colloidal nanomaterials. Furthermore, current methods of handling liquid samples in X-Ray spectroscopy cannot be used for these chemical reactions.
