A set of master and PhD students in WW6 participated in the re-activated “Materials Science Cup 2023”, competing with 7 other WW institutes. They played 4 matches, with 2 wins and 2 defeats and got 5th place at the end of the tournament
Organic electronics, or "polytronics," using electrically conductive plastics, offer advantages like replacing rare materials and reducing CO2 emissions. Polytronics apply carbon-based components in thin layers on flexible substrates, providing wider applications and material savings. For example, ...
Solar airships have the potential to provide environmentally friendly long-distance travel. These airships would be powered by solar cells on their outer skin and lightweight batteries on board, resulting in virtually no harmful emissions. The large surface area of airships provides ample space for...
The organic electronic industry has reached a critical stage, presenting a unique opportunity to shape the future of this rapidly advancing field. Despite comprising a very small fraction (0.02 wt% of the entire mass in the case study), organic materials can still have a significant impact on the t...
Who would have thought that two i-MEET PhD graduates would pursue another degree together? Four years after their doctoral exams, Philipp and Josef were sworn in together as patent attorneys. We warmly congratulate them on their remarkable achievements and wish them continued success in their caree...
Christoph gave a presentation at the Technology Forum in which he addressed automated material and device acceleration. The Forum Technologie organizes conferences that cover current technical advancements in a scientifically accessible manner, catering to both experts and the curious public. These...
We are excited to share the news that the Acceleration Consortium at the University of Toronto has been awarded a $200-million grant from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund to support its groundbreaking research on self-driving labs. The consortium aims to combine material science with artif...
It's hard to believe that the day has finally come for you to hang up your lab coat and retire after 13 years of dedicated work at i-MEET. Always being one of the first to come to work, your support for our research efforts has been invaluable. From ordering the reagents we needed to keep our exper...
Congratulations to Bernd with passing his PhD examination with very good grades! His thesis shows the development of advanced high throughput luminescence imaging techniques for the monitoring of large-scale photovoltaic installations to detect defects and prevent performance degradation over time....
