Networking and Poster Awards at the Young Scientist Retreat 2023
The Young Scientist Retreat 2023 has once again offered the Young Scientists of the HEiKA Graduate School on Functional Materials the opportunity to connect, exchange ideas and discuss their research results. At this year’s team building event, they had to work closely together to successfully build suspension bridges. New impulses for research, collaboration and general improvements […]
Two RSC Awards for Cluster PIs
Cluster PIs Stefanie Dehnen and Christopher Barner-Kowollik have both been honoured by the Royal Society of Chemistry for their outstanding research. Prof. Dehnen was awarded the RSC/GDCh Alexander Todd – Hans Krebs Lectureship in Chemical Sciences for pioneering research on molecular multinary cluster nanoarchitectures for innovative applications in catalysts, white-light emitters, and battery materials. Prof. […]
Brighter blue for organic light-emitting Diodes
Researchers from the KIT and Shanghai University developed a novel emitter molecule that enables blue OLEDs with high luminosity and quantum efficiency. In the Cluster funded publication published in Science Advances, the authors present their new strategy to fabricate efficient deep blue OLEDs: The specially fabricated novel molecule enables dual-channel intra/intermolecular exciplex emission upon electronic […]
Sinterless 3D Printing of Nanoscale optical-grade Glass
First author Associate PI Jens Bauer presents a material with high optical quality, mechanical resilience, processing ease, and coverable size scale, setting the benchmark for the micro- and nanoscale 3D printing of inorganic solids in a new Cluster publication. The process presented in the paper published in the journal Science represents a breakthrough that enables […]
Electrical Conductivity and Photodetection in 3D Printed Nanoporous Structures
In a recent Cluster publication, first author Young Scientist Kai Xia combines Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology and inkjet printing to fabricate customized 3D conductive structures. The results shown in this publication on electrical conductivity and photodetection in 3D printed nanoporous structures via solution-processed functional materials are a promising step towards the fabrication of complex systems. The authors, including PIs Peter […]
