A new kind of magnetism – knowledge
Until now, researchers knew of two types of magnetic materials. Now they think they have discovered a third, completely different one: the alter magnets. What does that mean? For thousands…
Project “GreenCarbon”: Building with algae and carbon fibers – knowledge
Building houses uses huge amounts of resources and damages the climate. Carbon fibers, algae factories, recycled concrete: what the future of construction could look like. Anyone who steps onto this…

Material science: How toxic are outdoor jackets?
Many winter and rain jackets contain PFAS materials, so they are full of eternal toxins. What alternatives are there – and how do you find them? source site
Flop instead of sensation: superconductor study withdrawn again – knowledge
In March, a research team led by physicist Ranga Dias from the University of Rochester appeared in the specialist magazine Nature claims to have found a room temperature superconductor. Although…
E-mobility: New process to recycle batteries in an environmentally friendly way – Knowledge
“And what about the batteries?” Not a single discussion goes by between electric car advocates and critics in which the life cycle assessment of the high-voltage batteries is not discussed…

Researchers generate electricity from the humidity in the air – knowledge
Electricity is generated from wind, coal and water, of course. But from humidity? A group of engineers is working on it – and building artificial mini clouds. The term “humidity”…
Used diapers can replace building materials for houses – knowledge
In the search for environmentally friendly building materials, scientists have landed on used diapers. Washed, disinfected, dried and shredded, they could replace up to 27 percent of the sand in…
