Magnetism without metal: a milestone for materials science

“This is fundamentally new”

09-Oct-2024 - Dr Hongde Yu and Prof Thomas Heine from TUD Dresden University of Technology have succeeded for the first time in predicting metal-free organic magnetic materials using precise computer simulations. These magnetic two-dimensional (2D) polymers could play an important role in data storage, medical ...

Innovative computational method unveils high-performance ceramics for extreme environments

Research team identifies hundreds of representatives of a particularly heat-resistant class of materials

31-Jan-2024 - An international research team has developed a method for rapidly discovering new types of materials that function at extremely high temperatures of several thousand degrees Celsius. These high-performance ceramics could one day form the basis for more robust coatings, batteries and ...

Spin-off develops and distributes solutions for high-precision multi-material 3D printing

The technology forms a "missing link" for a wide variety of new application areas

24-May-2022 - In the framework of an EXIST Transfer of Research project, the HETEROMERGE team is developing a technology for automated material exchange for high-precision 3D printers toward market maturity, enabling multi-material printing even in the area of extremely small structure sizes of down to 100 ...

Compression or strain – the material expands always the same

Regardless if strained or compressed, the new material always expands

08-Mar-2021 - An international research team led by chemist Prof. Thomas Heine of TU Dresden has discovered a new two-dimensional material with unprecedented properties: regardless if it is strained or compressed, it always expands. This so-called half-auxetic behavior has not been observed before and is ...

Scientists discover new phenomenon in the field of gas-solid interactions

11-Apr-2016 - Prof. Dr. Stefan Kaskel and his team of scientists at the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry I at TU Dresden discovered in cooperation with the Helmholtz-Centre Berlin (HZB) and French researchers a new phenomenon in the field of gas-solid interactions: the so-called Negative Gas Adsorption (NGA). ...
