Granularity of Structural Information in Materials Engineering

In the department of Granularity of  Structural Information in Materials Engineering, we use a nanotechnology approach to develop new metallic materials. We design materials considering their entire life cycle, from chemistry and structural design to improving material performance and recycling properties. Using a correlative multiscale characterization method in combination with material simulations, we tune the fine structures at the nanoscale to achieve tailored material properties.

Our process solutions aim to support a carbon-neutral economy, especially for automotive and hydrogen energy applications. We research sustainable solutions in an interdisciplinary system and work closely with industrial partners to develop intelligent and environmentally friendly materials for the future.
