We are very pleased with the Senate of the Leibniz Association’s recommendation to continue funding the INM through federal and state resources for another seven years. In its statement following the regular scientific evaluation, the Senate confirmed on March 18 that the INM has developed excellently both structurally and scientifically since the last evaluation. The […]
Folge 9: What AI needs for scientific discovery In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of AI-driven scientific discovery with our guest Prof. Jilles Vreeken. We explore how machine learning is revolutionizing materials science, from predicting crystallization structures to uncovering hidden patterns in data. Discover the surprising challenges of AI in medical diagnostics, […]
Printed electronics is a true all-rounder. It adapts to irregular surfaces, bends effortlessly, can be applied to a wide range of materials, and is cost-effective to manufacture. Without printed electronics and the inks used in the process, many high-tech applications would not be possible. From February 26 to 27, the INM – Leibniz Institute for […]
At today’s Colloquia Day at INM, leading experts in lab automation and data-driven design shared insights on how their approaches are transforming research workflows, enabling faster experimentation, and driving the discovery of novel materials. Talks and discussions covered advancements in robotic and autonomous lab systems for high-throughput synthesis and characterization, as well as the role […]
