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.

Frank Würthner and his Indian colleague Mahesh Hariharan were invited to present their joint Research Training Group at an anniversary celebration in Delhi.

The 13th SolTech conference took place in Nuremberg from September 25 to September 27 2024

From 16 to 18 September, members of the Würthner Group attended the 29th GDCh LCP 2024 in Mainz, Germany.

The "Day of Organic Chemistry", on which the working groups introduce themselves to students in their bachelor's studies, again included the presentation of the Dr. Reich Prize, endowed with 1,000 euros, to two outstanding graduates in 2024.

To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the Center for Nanosystems Chemistry, a symposium with national and international speakers was held at the Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy.

Würzburg researchers from the Bavarian Solar Technologies Go Hybrid network are reporting progress on the road to more efficient utilisation of solar energy: they have developed an innovative light collection system.

He had the honor to give the Rudolf Gompper Memorial Lecture, which has been the opening event of every KOPO conference since 1999.

The Würzburg scientists led by spokesperson Frank Würthner have the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Thiruvananthapuram (IISER TVM) at their side as a partner institution.
