The annual institute workshop (and CENEM Workshop) took place in Bad Windsheim during 17-20. Feb. This year, a record total number of 31 members attended the workshop. Official Bachelor and Master defense talk as well as extended presentations by our motivated colleagues provided very good overview ...

We just receive the great news from the DFG: all the three SFB (English: Collaborative Research Center, CRC) projects we participated are granted! Thank all who contributed in one way or another! Let's set sail for scientific exploration in in the years to come.  

A paper by Malte Lenz, Janis Wirth, and colleagues, entitled "Correlative Nano‐Computed Tomography and Focused Ion‐Beam Sectioning: A Case Study on a Co‐Base Superalloy Oxide Scale" was recently published in Advanced Engineering Materials. In this work, a correlative tomography approach combining...

A collaborative "Highly Effective Propane Dehydrogenation Using Ga−Rh Supported Catalytically Active Liquid Metal Solutions" has been recently published in ACS Catalysis. This work was contributed by a team of scientist in Erlangen including Chemists, Experimental/Theoretical Physcists, Materials Sc...

The bi-annual event "Long Night of Science" in Nuremberg, Fuerth and Erlangen was again very success for IMN/CENEM. At the Electron Microscopy facilities alone we welcomed more several hundred people throughout the night. Visitors had the chance to see the Titan Themis3 and learn about research at t...
