At a DECHEMA/VDI conference in February 2024, CRC 1411's research was prominently featured, with Nabi Traoré (Project A01) and Lukas Hartmann (Project B04) receiving awards for their presentations. Their contributions highlight CRC 1411's impactful role in advancing particulate systems research.
The 2023 Nobel Prize for chemistry has been awarded to Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus and Aleksey Ekimov for their discovery of quantum dots, nanoparticles that are so small that their physical size determines the quantum mechanical states of the material’s charge carriers. Quantum dots constitute a new...
At PARTEC 2023, held from 26 - 28 September 2023, several of our researchers presented the results achieved during the first funding period with the particle technology community.
During the event, Johannes Walter was awarded the prestigious Löffler Prize.
CRC1411 research combines the strength of simulation predictions with cutting edge characterization technique to discover new materials. In a collaboration between project D04 and C01, and researchers of Indiana University, simulated crystalline structures were finally observed experimentally.

CRC 1411 PI and Vice-Spokesperson Martin Hartmann will receive the Klaus-Unger-Award 2024 of the Zeolite division of DECHEMA for his work on porous solids, which has resulted in "ground-breaking progress in the synthesis and application of these materials". His work has inspired and shaped the zeol...
Using gold nanocrystal seeds to guide the growth of silver patches, CRC 1411 scientists have unlocked a scalable way to produce a rainbow of tunable nanoparticles, opening the door to a range of applications.
Surface properties of nanoparticles and the corresponding (de-) agglomeration phenomena are crucial for nanoparticle functionalities and processability. However, especially in optically dense media the investigation of agglomeration is challenging. Three groups of the CRC1411 have joined forces for ...
Two CRC1411-related lectures taught by Prof. Nicolas Vogel were included in the “Bestenlisten”, with “Polymer Materials” ranking 2nd, and "Grenzflächen in der Biotechnologie” ranking 3rd in the whole TechFac. These awards show how the results of the CRC1411 and LFG research contribute to the success...
The recent joint paper of the groups of the PIs Harting, Vogel, Peukert, Inayat and Fröba, published in the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, made it to the cover! Here we described how particles diffuse in confinement. Read more here.
The unique optical and catalytic properties of atomically precise gold nanoclusters make them highly promising candidates for advanced photovoltaic, catalytic and sensing applications. Since these properties strongly depend on the exact nanocluster size, separation techniques are required to produce...
