Talk

During the last 80 years, about 10 billion tons of plastics have been synthesized, and their ongoing crude oil–derived production still accounts for the vast majority of products (≈90%), compared to bio-based (≈1%) and recycled (≈9%) alternatives. Current thermo(mechanical) and chemical recycling technologies typically involve high energy costs and lead to a material downgrade with each cycle....

Talk

Focused ion beam (FIB) technology has evolved from a versatile microfabrication and imaging tool into a powerful platform for atomic-scale materials design, enabling the modification, doping and restructuring materials with nanometer precision. Our research advances FIB capabilities to explore new pathways for unprecedented applications [1]. For instance, we recently demonstrated the local...
