CENEM scientists develop method for cleaning surfaces at the nanoscale A team of scientists at Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) has developed a novel mechanical cleaning method for surfaces on the nanoscale. The technique successfully removes even the tiniest contaminants do...

We are happy to announce, that the paper “Low Energy Nano Diffraction (LEND)–A versatile diffraction technique in SEM” by GRK member Peter Schweizer and coworkers was recently published in Ultramicroscopy. This work was realized at IMN/CENEM and demonstrates a novel setup for transmission diffracti...

The annual CENEM Workshop took place in Bad Windsheim during 17-20. Feb. This year, a record total number of 31 members attended the workshop. Besides scientific contributions by the attending CENEM members, the workshop focused on the past and future cooperation and research strategy of CENEM. Inte...

In a recent publication, researchers of CENEMN's associated GRK1896 present in situ investigations of reactions at a solid-liquid-gas interface using liquid cell transmission electron microscopy. The work published open access in Advanced Materials Interfaces (Art. No. 1901027: https://www.onlinelib...

This term's regular seminar of CENEM's research training unit GRK1896 started with an excursion to the largest CT factory in the world. The GRK1896 members got insight into the assembling steps from the on short notice delivery from an logistic partner of the individual parts towards the final produ...

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...

The PhD defence of CENEM's research unit GRK1896 member Mr. Peter Schweizer took place on 18. Sep. 2019. With his beautiful work of “Manipulation of individual defects in 2D and layered materials”, he has been awarded the title Dr.-Ing. with the top overall grade "summa cum laude" His PhD work ha...

Hans-Georg Steinrück, an invited speaker at the DPG Symposium “Correlative and in situ Microscopy in Materials Research” coorganized by GRK 1896 receives 2019 Spicer Award for energy storage research at SLAC’s X-ray synchrotron. The award emphasizes how important in situ methods are to tackle one...

In a recent paper published in ACS Nano, researchers from particle technology and theory have worked together with CENEM and it's research training group members to decrypt the free energy landscape of colloidal clusters in sphere confinement, using the model system of polystyrene (PS) particles.
