A research team at the University of Vienna led by physicist Jani Kotakoski demonstrates how the shape of nanopores in hexagonal boron nitride - the electrically insulating counterpart to graphene, also known as "white graphene" - can be precisely controlled at the atomic level. Electron irradiation...
Tavion, a Swedish energy company focused on developing, owning and operating battery parks across Europe, has raised €34 million in an oversubscribed financing round led by Leitmotif and Oberon Capital, with participation from existing investors BackingMinds and Course Corrected VC. Combined with €1...
Just a few atomic layers at the surface can strongly influence how effectively a material binds pollutants from water or how efficiently a photocatalyst responds to light. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP use X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to investiga...

The large chemical plant owned by the insolvent company Leuna Polyamid is in danger of becoming an industrial ruin. “Unfortunately, we have not yet received a binding offer from an investor,” Managing Director Martin Naundorf told the Mitteldeutsche Zeitung (Tuesday edition). The facilities will con...
Europe’s largest industrial carbon capture facility was officially inaugurated at Yara’s plant in Sluiskil, the Netherlands. The project establishes the first complete cross-border value chain for capturing, transporting and permanently storing CO₂ (CCS).
The inauguration was marked by the presence ...
One big dream of ultrafast science has been to watch changes in nanoparticles or biomolecules on their natural timescale. Experimentally, this can be realized by taking two snapshots of the same object only femtoseconds (millionth of a billionth of a second) apart. However, no detector is fast enoug...
A small change in a molecule can make a big difference in how it behaves in the human body. Researchers at the University of Vienna, CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the Medical University of Vienna have now developed a simple and versatile way to m...

The company offers technical support, including integrity testing, filterability studies, validation services, and on‑site maintenance to customers in sectors such as ph...
The Swiss startup is currently expanding its AI operating system to more Waste-to-Energy and other industrial plants across several continents.
Jaipur Robotics, the Swiss AI company transforming waste plant operations with computer vision and automation, today announced a EUR 4.3 million Seed round ...
How can we make good decisions in an increasingly complex world? A research collaboration funded by the Klaus Tschira Foundation is addressing this question. Participants include the Max Planck Institute for Geoanthropology in Jena, Arizona State University, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation...
In Milan, the President of the International Balzan Foundation – Prize, Maria Cristina Messa, and the Chair of the Balzan General Prize Committee, Marta Cartabia, announced the winners of the four annual Balzan Prizes for Science and Culture, two in the physical and natural sciences and two in the h...
For its contribution to Sustainable Chemistry, Without – then operating under the name Without by Ashaya – was recognised by the International Sustainable Chemistry Collaborative Centre (ISC3) as Start-up of the Month in May 2023. Since then, the Indian company has evolved significantly and expanded...
Producing hydrogen is essential for some of the world’s biggest industrial and agricultural needs, but it also comes with a steep environmental cost: most hydrogen made today is generated through processes that release large amounts of CO2. This is due to a combination of high-heat requirements and ...
Halogenated flame retardants raise environmental concerns and are considered harmful to human health. As a result, researchers have been searching for alternatives for many years. Fraunhofer researchers are focusing on sustainable phosphorus-based raw materials derived from corn steep liquor. The ph...
On the Charlottenburg campus of the Technical University of Berlin, the Chemical Invention Factory – John Warner Center (CIF) is taking shape as a venue for knowledge transfer in green chemistry that is unique in Europe. On September 4, 2026, TU Berlin celebrated the topping-out ceremony for the new...
LANXESS is further expanding its business with materials for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. The specialty chemicals company has opened a new battery laboratory at its Krefeld-Uerdingen site. There, LANXESS tests and develops battery materials based on iron oxide and iron phosphate.
