News overview

Three UniSysCat PIs are organizing this year's GDCh Electrochemistry conference in Berlin from 27 to 30 September at Freie Universität Berlin. Registration is still possible.

On 5 September, Prof. John Warner was ceremoniously appointed Honorary Professor of Green Chemistry at TU Berlin. UniSysCat is delighted about this great step forward in the promotion of green chemistry in Berlin.

A team of UniSysCat researchers presents a simple method for the screening of the photocatalytic activity of up to four catalysts in parallel – a method that may save a lot of time in the lab.

UniSysCat researcher Prof. Maria Andrea Mroginski is co-organizing the CECAM-Workshop on "Immobilizing peptides and proteins" from 4 to 7 October 2022 in Paris. There are still slots for Postdocs and PhD students available.

Dr. Bartholomäus Pieber, currently leading a research group at the MPICI, has been appointed an Assistant Professor at ISTA - Institute of Science and Technology Austria. He will join ISTA in June 2023.

A team of UniSysCat researchers developed a powerful electrode material for the electrolysis of alcohol, aldehyde and water: plasma-modified nickel foam.

On 10 September, UniSysCat member Prof. Roldán Cuenya from FHI Berlin will be awarded the prestigious X-ray medal for her groundbreaking fundamental work in understanding catalytic processes using X-ray methods.

UniSysCat member Prof. Maria Andrea Mroginski was interviewed for "TU intern" about the simulation of catalysts for the energy transition.

A research team around UniSysCat group leader Prof. Roldán Cuenya from FHI Berlin provides insights into size effects and structural changes important for the activity of cobalt oxide nanoparticles at work.

A team of UniSysCat researchers found a coupling scheme for the ATP-driven electron transfer in the double-cubane cluster protein and its associated metalloenzyme based on the structure of their complex.
