Events of our Research Group
5th Annual PIRE PDC Workshop in Conjunction with Graduate School TU-Darmstadt, from July 31 to August 07, 2022
The annual workshop promotes face-to-face interactions among US and international members to encourage discussion of the collaborative research agenda, yearly progress review via oral/poster presentations by participants, short-courses on topics related to ceramics, information sessions by national lab and industry participants, and the extension of PDC-fiber research to a broader materials science community. The workshop promotes engagement and sharing of resources and research infrastructure within and across PIRE institutions. State of the art research is disseminated at the workshops by welcoming non-PIRE scientists and students amongst our midst.
10th International Workshop on Spinel Nitrides and Related Materials, September 2021
With this workshop, we intend to bring together the leading research groups actively working in the field of advanced nitride materials. It is our aim to promote and broaden the scientific community and to provide a forum for discussing the state of the art with respect to practical implementations as well as the underlying concepts and the relevance of nitride-based materials.

Team at TU Darmstadt uses Raman and NMR spectroscopy for measurements
How do substances in liquid mixtures behave during evaporation and how can evaporation processes be better controlled? A team at TU Darmstadt has made an important contribution to clarify these questions: The scientists have succeeded for the first time in contactlessly detecting different concentrations in mixtures. The results have been published in the renowned journal “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences” (PNAS).

2021/09/07
Teams at TU Darmstadt are carrying out research as part of the lead project H2Giga
Green hydrogen produced using energy from renewable sources is one of the most important energy carriers for the energy transition in Germany. In order to support the hydrogen economy, the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) has initiated several lead projects. Four teams at TU Darmstadt are participating in the lead project H2Giga and adding their expertise to the development of the technology that is required for the large-scale production of hydrogen.
