These two have great chemistry

How do we know so much about the stars when mankind has only been to the moon? In this talk we will explore some of the methods scientists use to understand the chemistry of our solar systems and the stars beyond.

What do walks on the beach have to do with synthetic inorganic chemistry? In my presentation, I will show how we are developing modern catalysts from sand in our working group. Our aim is not only to find alternatives to increasingly expensive and rare elements, but also to open up completely new fields of application. Join me in a relaxed atmosphere on a journey through our exciting day-to-day laboratory work and discover with me the areas in which catalysts play a central role and why research into them is essential for a sustainable future.
