On March 28, 2025 Tim Schembri successfully defended his PhD thesis on "Narrowband Absorbing Solid-State Aggregates of Merocyanine Dyes for Color-Selective Organic Photodiodes". We congratulate Tim and wish him all the best for his future career.

With artificial photosynthesis, mankind could utilise solar energy to bind carbon dioxide and produce hydrogen. Würzburg chemists have taken this one step further.

Würzburg chemists have for the first time created a defect in graphene that allows ions to pass through. As they report in ‘Nature’, this could lead to new applications in water filtration or sensor technology.
