 Prestigious Funding For Developing High Performance Tabletop NMR UnitsUnder the management of spokesperson Prof. Jan G. Korvink (IMT), 15 projects of scientists from the universities of Karlsruhe, Kaiserslautern, Konstanz and Stuttgart are funded within the “High Performance Compact Magnetic Resonance (HyPeriOn)” CRC (in German „SFB“). The team aims to reduce the volume of high-performance magnetic resonance systems by a factor of 200. (Photo: A. Bramsiepe, KIT). More... |
 KIT Bottom-Up Project with IMT Participation AwardedThe interdisciplinary team including IMT members Dimitry Schmidt from the research group Prof. Dr. A. Nesterov-Müller and Dr. Mareen Stahlberger (originally from IOC) took third place in the ideas competition of 10th Innovation Competition NEULAND of the KIT with the idea of “BioHealing self-healing fuel cells”. The basic principle of the idea is shown in this VIDEO. The project "BioHealing - Self-healing fuel cell" is part of the innovation campus "Mobility of the Future" ICM of the KIT and the University of Stuttgart, with funding from the Ministry of Science of the State of Baden-Württemberg in the "Strategy Dialogue Automotive Industry".

 Stacking Solar Cells On Top Of Each Other Increases EfficiencyTogether with partners in the EU project PERCISTAND, KIT researchers have now produced perovskite/CIS tandem solar cells with an efficiency of almost 25 percent - the highest for this technology to date. In addition, the combination of materials ensures lightness and versatility, so that the use of these tandem solar cells on vehicles, portable devices and foldable or rollable devices is also conceivable (Photo: M.
