A graph showing how molecular dynamics data of 8 elements connect across temperatures. By tagging the #data with ontologies, we gain AI-ready data enhancing #computational materials design. Thanks to Sarath Menon for this image, that fits into the Christmas-New-Year-Mood😊

#Circularity , raw #materials and supply chains – buzzwords in today’s politics. Watch @dierkraabe explaining how materials science can contribute to a circular economy by extracting metals from ores, recycled materials and waste. youtube.com/watch?v=Tow7x4… Thanks @dfg_public 😃

The talk was part of our KopfSalat series that brings research highlights to a broad public audience in #Duesseldorf . ➡️ If you’re in or near Düsseldorf and enjoy insightful and entertaining #sciencetalks , feel free to reach out and join us 😃

A full house and a fascinated audience at yesterday’s “Colourful Crystals” talk by Stefan Zaefferer! He took us on a journey through the world of crystals - where they occur, what defines them, & how electron #microscopy allows us to reveal their structures in #Metals .

Congratulations to Yosra Dammak for winning a Young Poster Prize at the 16th International Conference on Advanced Lithium #Batteries for #Automotive Applications 👏 Read more : mpie.de/5121278/young-… #materialsscience #lithium #nickel
