Aktuelles

The topics at the short lecture evening on Thursday, November 11 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. are as diverse as the focal points of the work at KoNaRo – Competence Center for Renewable Resources. Under the title „KoNaRo: Straubing researches for sustainability. For 20 years“, six speakers will present their forward-looking topics.

Bio-based LEDs are the topic of Prof. Dr. Rubén D. Costa from the TUM Campus Straubing. LEDs are considered the future of artificial lighting and are particularly popular because of their low power consumption. But are they really a sustainable technology that our grandchildren will still be using? After all, they also come with some disadvantages, such as problematic ingredients. A more sustainable alternative could be protein-based LEDs, which Prof. Costa will present in the lecture.

Great collaboration between TUM, IMDEA Nanoscience and UNICAEN!! Our last work on Copper(I) complexes for lighting applications has been selected in the themed HOT articles collection in Dalton Trans. Enjoy the read!!

On the 16th of September 2021, Sara held a keynote presentation at EUROMAT 2021 entitled Highly stable bio-phosphors for high power Bio-Hybrid Light-emitting Diodes. She presented an overview on the current status of the application of Fluorescent Proteins in Bio-Hybrid LEDs, focusing on the most promising approaches in the field and presenting our latest results.

We are very pleased to welcome Prof. Coto to our Chair as TUM Global Visiting Professor.

He is an expert in the theory and simulation of excited state processes in organic molecules and biomolecules and charge transfer and transport processes in novel materials with applications to nanoelectronics, organic photovoltaics and lighting.

Congratulations to Yanyan for the new review on Recent Progress on Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications of Metal Halide Perovskites@Metal Oxide.
The advance article is highlighted in Advanced Functional Materials.

We are thrilled to announce the virtual European Climate Pact Satellite Event „Protein-based materials: A sustainable solution for our technological world?“ supported by the EU project ARTIBLED (No 863170). The event will take place at 1st of October 2021 from 4-7 pm (CEST). International experts in Biotechnology, Synthetic Biology, and Energy will provide a critical vision about the current actions on protein-based technologies towards shaping a sustainable society. This will be followed by an open round stable discussion.
