InMa 2024 – Symposium on “Characterization and Properties of Interface-dominated Materials”

Interfaces are present in almost all materials we use and dictate many of the materials’ properties, functions, and behaviors. Consequently, a fundamental understanding of material interface structures, how they interact with other material constituents, and how they can be modified is desirable to benefit from such interfaces for new material developments with tailored properties or … Read more

MecaNano Winter School on Research Data Management

A LOOK “UNDER THE HOOD” OF AN RDM SYSTEM Digitization has increased the effectiveness and sustainability of scientific workflows tremendously. Today we can use systems that, while we generate research data, associate, keep track and manage related contextual (meta)data in a digital and (semi-)automated manner. At the same time many labs stand at the brink … Read more
