Heiko Rieger from Saarland University is the seventh Fellow of the INM – Leibniz Institute for New Materials. The professor of theoretical physics will complement the biologically oriented work of the institute with theoretical aspects.
Research on living materials and, in particular, on targeted designed living materials is developing rapidly and in a wide variety of application areas.
A team from the 3sat channel filmed a report on lithium extraction from mine water at the INM for the science program “nano”.

All over the world, hydrogen is seen as a beacon of hope for the energy transition. But to produce it on an industrial scale, seawater is needed. However, its desalination has so far only been possible with the use of large amounts of energy. Energy experts Yuan Zhang and Volker Presser have found a way […]
Self-ventilating sportswear, self-healing concrete walls, bio-plastics that dissolve after use, or implants for the long-term and personalized delivery of drugs to the body are just a few examples of the application of so-called “living materials”. The Leibniz ScienceCampus “Living Therapeutic Materials” based in Saarbrücken is dedicating this four-day international conference “Engineered Living Materials” to the […]
