What's UniSysCat all about?

Four UniSysCat groups jointly elucidated the coupling of the reactivities of two physiologically unrelated enzymes in solution by theory and spectroscopy to achieve hydrogen-driven formate production and the reverse reaction.

Ten episodes of the German podcast "exzellent erlärt" have been published in the last six months. The podcast takes you from the lab to the universe.

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.

UniSysCat and TU Berlin’s Institute for Chemistry present experiment kit to Hans-Litten-Schule

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.
