The two Mandel Groups (The Supraparticle Group at FAU and the Particle technology group at Fraunhofer ISC) came together this week for a joined retreat in Würzburg. A tight shedule was completed, including guided tours through the Fraunhofer ISC and its new buildings in Würzburg, some PhD topic p...

The development of so-called suprabeads, i.e. supraparticles supported on beads, successfully demonstrated by us for supported catalytically active liquid metal solution catalysis. This great collaborative work with colleagues from the engineering department and the CRC CLINT was just accepted in M...

Nice collaboration work between the Vogel group, our FAU group and the Fraunhofer ISC. Salvatore Chiera, Melissa Ghetina, Thomas Zimmermann, Susanne Wintzheimer, Claudia Stauch, Peer Löbmann, Karl Mandel, Nicolas Vogel* Mechanical Stability of Liquid-Infused Surfaces based on Mussel-Inspired P...

The Supraparticle group has had a busy spring season in terms of conferences and talks. Just to name a few: Susanne Wintzheimer reported about SUPRABEADS for Catalysis at the 16th International Conference on Materials Chemistry in Dublin and on the 12th International Colloids Conference in Palma...

A big step towards automated nanoparticle synthesis at Fraunhofer ISC by Sofia Dembski and colleagues. Find more details here.

Magnetic particle spectroscopy offers new eyes for surface chemistry! Wonderful collaborative work with the colleagues from the engineering department just accepted in JCIS. Find out more, here.   Andreas Wolf; Andreas Zink; Lisa Stiegler; Robert Branscheid; Benjamin Apeleo Zubiri; Ste...

After three years of waiting (thanks to Corona), since our start at FAU, the inaugural lecture of Karl Mandel and Peers has finally taken place. Find more details about all the new Professors, here.

Great demonstration of analytics by our partners down to the very small scales.   Lange S., Fett B., Kabaklı Ö. S., Adner D., Kroyer T., Bogati S., Schulze P.S.C., Herbig B., Hagendorf C., Sextl G., Mandel K. Enhancement of NiOx/poly-Si Contact Performance by Insertion of an Ultrathin Me...

Multiple group members have already been busy in 2023 with giving talks. For instance, Jakob about H2 sensing at the Materials to RePowerEU in Hanau, Susanne giving an evenig lecture at the Jahrestreffen Dechema Fachgruppe Grenzflächenbestimmte Systeme und Prozesse, Andreas pitching his PhD at the B...

On Friday 31st of March, Stephan successfully defended his PhD Thesis entitled "Development of supraparticles suitable for magnetic identification tags" with distinction #summacumlaude ! Congratulations Stephan! Happy to have him staying in the group as another scientist bridging the FAU and ISC wor...
