Old masters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Sandro Botticelli, and Rembrandt van Rijn added egg yolk to their oil paint to change the medium's properties.
Interdisciplinary project explores the phenomenon of so-called “superspreaders” Scientists from the Departments of Physics, Biomedical Sciences and Process Engineering at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg are in the process of analyzing the emergence and spread of infectious air bubbles in our breath, known as aerosols, using tissue cultivations and artificially-produced, virus-filled suspended particles. The aim of the interdisciplinary project, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) to the tune of almost €900,000, is to find out why the phenomenon of so-called "s...

E-Mail IMAGE: Better understanding of the lifecycle accelerates the development of long-lasting, recyclable, and safe lithium-ion batteries. view more Credit: (Photo: Laila Tkotz, KIT) Recycling and optimized resource cycles, second use, and knowledge-based cell design are expected to enhance sustainability and safety of lithium-ion batteries in future. The basis is now provided by process engineers and materials scientists of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), who jointly study the battery lifecycle. The new research projects are carried out within the battery research clus...
