In the coming years, service robots/assistant robots will increasingly be able to take over tasks such as cleaning and transport in public spaces, e.g. in pedestrian zones, public squares, railway stations and parking garages. This means they will not only become part of the cityscape, but work processes will change. The encounters of uninvolved persons …
Pig urine bladder instead of animal experiment: Dr. Michael Melzer, physician and scientist at Ulm University Hospital, has been honored with the Ursula M. Händel Animal Welfare Award. With this award, the German Research Foundation (DFG) honors scientists who improve animal welfare. How does pancreatic cancer develop? Dr. Michael Melzer conducts research on stem cell-based …
Ammonia from green hydrogen is an energy carrier with high economic potential that can be used as a chemical feedstock, marine fuel or for stationary power generation. In the future, it will be imported on a large scale from regions with high solar and wind resources. In the project “PICASO” (Process Intensification & Advanced Catalysis …
ZSW reactivates graphite and all critical metals recovered from used lithium-ion batteries: As a sustainable source of critical raw materials, recycling of lithium-ion batteries will play a key role in the future – especially the recycling of batteries that power electric cars. Today’s recycling processes fail to recover every type of metal, with some of …

Improve fertiliser production and ultimately the world’s food supply with sustainable ammonia synthesis. This and other long-term goals are being pursued by a new priority programme of the German Research Foundation on nitrogen conversion. One area of application is ammonia synthesis: this chemical is used in many indispensable products – including fertilisers. Researchers led by …

So far, all attempts to formulate Einstein’s general theory of relativity as a quantum theory have failed. This incompatibility fuels speculation as to whether quantum science can be the right framework for an ultimate theory or even the “world formula”. Now Dr Ludovico Lami, currently a Humboldt Research Fellow in Albert Einstein’s birthplace, is opening …
