In Germany, a German-Chinese research team has found a new synthetic route to produce biofuel from biomass. The chemists converted the substance 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) produced from biomass into 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF), which could be suitable as a biofuel. Compared to previous methods, they achieved a higher yield and selectivity under milder reaction conditions. The work was part of the German-Chinese research cooperation “Novel Functional Materials for Sustainable Chemistry”, which is supported by the German Research Foundation. Although the conversion from HMF into DMF has been...

Wind turbines on the open sea are enormous. Apr 30th, 2021 Friederike Meyer zu Tittingdorf Materials researchers at Saarland University and mechanical engineers at RWTH Aachen University working to further develop monopile production for offshore wind farms. Steelwind Nordenham With an output of around ten megawatts, today's wind turbines on the open sea have enormous dimensions. Their gigantic nacelles - with a generator, rotor and rotor blades spanning more than 100 meters - stand atop a steel tower. This tower, in turn, rests in the sea on colossal steel pipes known as monopiles, currently...
