DLR Materials Colloquium

9 October 2023
In an era defined by pressing global challenges such as global warming, resource scarcity, and rising energy costs, the traditional approaches to deploying new materials are no longer viable. The need for fast and sustainable solutions to secure the prosperity of future generations has become paramount. In this year’s Materials Colloquium of DLR’s Institute of Materials Research, we will explore how the digital transformation has become a catalyst for change, enabling the rapid design, discovery, maturation, and deployment of innovative and efficient materials solutions across the entire value chain.

Seeing atoms – a new TEM for the Institute of Materials Research

16 December 2022
The Institute of Materials Research will be expanding its analytical equipment pool with a new transmission electron microscope (TEM). The acquisition of the Spectra 300, a Thermo Fisher Scientific TEM of the latest generation, and several peripheral devices, along with the construction of a new lab building, has been approved as a large-scale investment by the DLR executive board. The lab building is designed specifically to meet the strict requirements of the microscope on its surrounding. The start-of-operation of the TEM is scheduled for the year 2024.

Development of an innovative Nano-combined-heat-and-power-plant using novel thermal generators based on Skutterudite and Bismuth-Telluride alloys

18 August 2020
The project “Nano-BHKW” aims at the development of a novel and innovative Nano-combined-heat-and-power-plant for the partial conversion of the heat into electrical energy of single and multi-family houses during the heating period. In comparison to the units in use up to now, which are based on combustion engines, the “Nano-BHKW” to evolve uses thermoelectric generators (TEG) based on novel Skutterudite semi-conductor alloys.

Advanced Theory and Simulation: Composite Materials: On the Molecular to Continuum Modeling of Fiber‐Reinforced Composites

27 May 2020
A bottom‐up multiscale model approach for describing fiber‐reinforced composites is described by Ameya Rege and Sandeep P. Patil in article number 1900211. In their model, the fibers (for example, carbon nanotubes) are modeled as Euler–Bernoulli beams and the particle matrix (for example, silica aerogel) is modeled as an elastic foundation.
