Science ship “MS Wissenschaft” stops in Saarland – on board: future technology from Saarland developed at INM
Lithium is a key raw material for the energy transition: without lithium-ion batteries, electric mobility and sustainable energy storage would hardly be possible. However, lithium is currently extracted primarily in Australia, South America, or China – often under environmentally and socially problematic conditions and with long transport routes to Europe. How lithium can be extracted […]
145 Million Euros for Leibniz-INM
The INM – Leibniz Institute for New Materials, located on the campus of Saarland University, will continue to receive base funding from the federal and state governments for another seven years. Between 2025 and 2031, the institute will receive approximately 145 million euros. An international expert commission had previously attested to the institute’s outstanding structural […]
The INM at LOPEC: Custom Functional Inks for Printed Electronics
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 […]
Research on Living Therapeutic Materials Continues: Saarland Remains a Beacon in Biomedical Science
Good news for biomedical research in Saarland: The Leibniz ScienceCampus (LSC) “Living Therapeutic Materials” is entering its second funding phase after four years of successful research. The Leibniz Institute for New Materials (INM), Saarland University (UdS), and the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (HIPS) are starting the next phase of the Leibniz ScienceCampus on […]
Inspired by nature- Light-controlled bio-based OptoAssays can diagnose diseases more easily and cost-effectively
From Velcro to solar cells, many technological innovations have been inspired by nature. In medical diagnostics, researchers also draw inspiration from biological principles. A research team from the University of Freiburg and the INM – Leibniz Institute for New Materials in Saarbrücken has developed testing methods in which simple LEDs could replace complex mechanical pumps. […]
Acer I-Seed: the first eco-friendly fluorescent artificial seed for monitoring soil temperature by using drones
They look and function like maple seeds and can measure important environmental parameters without electricity or environmentally harmful components. The sensors, called ‘Acer I-Seed,’ are 3D-printed using biocompatible and compostable materials, developed at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Genoa in collaboration with the Leibniz Institute for New Materials (INM) in Saarbrücken. The I-Seed project […]
