What's UniSysCat all about?

UniSysCat researcher Benjamin Steininger in GEO 1/2025: “We don't just have oil in our tanks, we also have it in our minds”. The journal is until mid January on stock at almost every German kiosk or train station.

Using sophisticated operando spectroscopy a team around UniSysCat group leader Beatriz Roldán Cuenya from the FHI Berlin gains insights into the function of a nickel-based catalyst of great potential for the reduction of CO2.

How can a career in experimental science coexist with the demands of starting and raising a family? This question took center stage at the "Career & Family" event, co-organized by greenCHEM and UniSysCat.

Dr. Bonnie Murphy from the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics was honored for her groundbreaking research in catalysis. Join us in celebrating her achievements at the award ceremony on April 11, 2025, at TU Berlin.

A stele was erected in Steglitz-Zehlendorf to commemorate Clara Immerwahr, the first woman in Germany to receive a doctorate in physical chemistry. In Immerwahr's honor, UniSysCat annually awards young female scientists.

A team of four scientists, including UniSysCat group leader Peter Saalfrank from the University of Potsdam, was awarded an ERC Synergy Grant for their project IRASTRO, that is dedicated to interstellar astrochemical research.

The UniSysCat groups of spectroscopists Horch and Zebger discover a potential shortcut for catalytic hydrogen cleavage in a hydrogenase that is controlled by light - opening up new possibilities for manipulating this process.

The EC²/BIG-NSE doctoral program celebrated its 17th Jubilee and Alumni Meeting on October 28-29, 2024, welcoming around 40 alumni for insightful panel discussions.

We congratulate UniSysCat group leader Roldán Cuenya from FHI Berlin, on winning the “ACES – Margarita Salas” Award in Physics, Mathematics and Engineering, that honors her research on catalytic nanostructured materials.
