Heat at the push of a button – but only up to a precisely defined temperature. What may initially sound like a technical detail is crucial for many applications: in cancer therapy, healthy tissue must not overheat, while in polymer-based materials, adhesive bonds should be selectively released with...

On February 27, 2026, Dirk Guldi delivered the colloquium “Adaptive Photon Management – From Light Capture to Conversion and Storage” at the School of Chemistry, UNSW, University of New South Wales, Australia. Addressing the detailed balance limit of 33% in single-junction photovoltaics, he outl...

Last week, Danijela Gregurec and Franziska Wasner participated in the SAHMN 2026 congress (Self-Assembled Hybrid Materials in Nanomedicine: From Non-Viral Vectors to Cancer Therapy and Neurostimulation) held at CIC biomaGUNE in San Sebastian, Spain. The meeting brought together international expert...

We brought our magnetic ID particles to the next level: we found that a bit of oleic acid is doing the trick to make them much more stable in harsh environments, thus turning them into real permanent markers for objects to be identified. Deuso S.L., Müssig S., Stephani P., Conan R., Winzer B., H...

Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have successfully elucidated the mechanism underlying the light-induced isomerization of a novel molecular photoswitch. Their findings provide a fundamental basis for the development of materials that can be precisely controlled...

She obtained her undergraduate degree in Chemistry from the University of Antioquia in Medellín, Colombia, and is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences at the National University of Tucumán, Argentina. Her doctoral research focuses on multiredox proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) p...

Ignacio obtained his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degree in chemistry in 2023 from University of Buenos Aires in Argentina, during which he conducted studies on phosphorescent mono- and di-nuclear Ir complexes, in the group of Prof. F. Di Salvo. In 2024, he started his PhD work at the University of Buenos Aires...

We successfully kicked off our Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions project SUSNAMU with a great online event, bringing together our partners from all over the world to align on goals, exchange ideas, and start our collaboration. Concurrently, the project website was launched and the first exchanges a...

our recent publication on Spatially Resolved Click Patterning of Dyes on Graphene for 2D Hybrids with Regiotunable Fluorescencewas featured on the cover of Advanced Functional Materials. The cover offers a view at the molecular level of covalent patterning of fluorescent dye moieties onto a dark...
