What's UniSysCat all about?

The UniSysCat groups of Matthias Driess and Tobias Gensch unravelled an unexpected mode of activation of carbon disulfide with a bis(silylene).

Artificial Intelligence decodes catalyst performance based on "materials genes of catalysis" which encode crucial material properties. Researchers from NOMAD, FHI Berlin and BasCat have proposed a new approach for modeling…

Congratulations to Dr. Charlotte Vogt from Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. She receives the 2022 Clara Immerwahr Award for her outstanding research in the field of catalysis.

With ultrashort X-ray laser pulses, a research team involving the UniSysCat groups of Athina Zouni & Holger Dobbek gained important new insights into the function of photosystem II, a key catalytic system in photosynthesis.

Two recent interdisciplinary UniSysCat publications shed light on the importance of protonation on the functionality and reactivity of molecular compounds relevant in chemistry and biology.

Roderich Süßmuth has already been awarded in 2020 for his achievements in the field of peptide chemistry. The award was finally handed over at the annual meeting of the Max Bergmann Kreis.

We've been filmed! The Berlin University Alliance organized a film team to showcase the research of the Driess group on their Youtube channel "WissenAusBerlin".

UniSysCat member Prof. Markus Antonietti from Max Planck Institute of Colloids & Interfaces receives the prestigious award "Lombardia è Ricerca" for the development of artificial photosynthesis.

Omar M. Yaghi from UC Berkeley receives this year's Gerhard Ertl Lecture Award for his excellent pioneering research in the field of reticular chemistry. The award ceremony will be an online event on Friday, Dec 10, at 4 pm.
