Fritz Haber Institute (original) (raw)
Science News
Researchers at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society, in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute of Chemical Energy Conversion and Clariant have unveiled new insights into the complex catalyst systems used in industrial ammonia production. By examining the structural evolution of these catalysts, the study highlights the critical role of promoters in enhancing performance and stability.
Novel research that successfully confines powerful, long-wavelength light to the nanoscale that could enable advances in terahertz optics and optoelectronic devices led by Vanderbilt and Fritz Haber Institute.
Researchers from the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society have unveiled new insights into the activity of catalysts used in green hydrogen production. Their study, published in Nature Chemistry, explores how the catalyst kinetics are related to an intricate interplay between interfacial solvent and chemical changes on the catalyst surface, potentially paving the way for more efficient energy conversion technologies.
Institute News
From October 6 to 10, the International Max Planck Research School for Elementary Processes in Physical Chemistry (IMPRS-EPPC) organized a lecture series about the latest developments, approaches and methods of physics and chemistry relating to sustainability.
This year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry goes to the three researchers Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal–organic frameworks.” The institute extends its warmest congratulations to all three! We are particularly delighted about the success of Omar M. Yaghi, who received the Gerhard Ertl Lecture Award in 2021.
The two International Max Planck Research Schools (IMPRS) of the Fritz Haber Institute and the Max Planck Institute for Human Development jointly organized an eye-opening workshop called “Breaking the Cycle: Embracing Menstrual Health in the Workplace”. The workshop provided valuable suggestions for improving working conditions for menstruating persons.
The Fritz Haber Institute is very pleased to welcome Prof. Tanja Cuk from the University of Colorado Boulder for a research stay at the institute as part of her Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award. The internationally renowned spectroscopist will be hosted by the departments of Prof. Beatriz Roldan Cuenya and Prof. Martin Wolf from August to December 2025.
