In 2026, the journey takes him to Saarland. Accompanied by Saarland\u2019s Minister-President Anke Rehlinger and an international delegation, he visited the INM \u2013 Leibniz Institute for New Materials on the campus of Saarland University today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The distinguished guests were welcomed by the INM\u2019s Management Board: Wilfried Weber, Ar\u00e1nzazu del Campo, and Michael Marx. \u201cFor INM as a materials research institute, this visit is a special honor,\u201d emphasized Professor Weber in his welcome address. \u201cAt a time marked by geopolitical uncertainty, climate challenges, and rapid technological transformation, materials science plays a crucial role. Materials are the foundation of innovation: they determine which technologies are possible, how sustainable they can be, and how resilient our economies will become. Our society, our economy, and our planet urgently need new materials that push the boundaries of performance, functionality, and sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The Federal President and the Minister-President experienced firsthand how INM\u2019s research contributes to addressing these challenges during a tour of the institute\u2019s laboratories. One highlight was the presentation of so-called \u201cliving materials\u201d and their wide range of potential applications. In Professor Weber\u2019s research department, cells are programmed to produce materials with specific, tailor-made properties. One example is a sustainable wood-based material that offers the advantages of conventional particleboard while being fully recyclable. Instead of petroleum-based adhesives used in traditional particleboard production, the material relies on a bio-based adhesive produced by specially engineered bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.inm-slider-block{margin-bottom:2rem}.inm-slider-block .slider-item{position:relative;max-height:600px;overflow:hidden;border-radius:15px !important}.inm-slider-block .slider-item:before{content:\"\";padding-top:56.65%;display:block}.inm-slider-block .slider-item img{object-fit:cover;object-position:center top;position:absolute;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;width:100%;height:100%}.inm-slider-block .slick-arrow{margin-top:0;top:50%;transform:translate(0, -50%);border-radius:50% !important}.inm-slider-block .slick-arrow.slick-prev{left:-2.3rem}.inm-slider-block .slick-arrow.slick-next{left:auto;right:-1.3rem}.inm-slider-block .additional-content{position:absolute;color:var(--color-white);background:var(--color-blue-opacity);padding:1.5rem;left:0;bottom:0;right:0}.inm-slider-block .additional-content h2,.inm-slider-block .additional-content p{margin:0;color:var(--color-white)}.inm-slider-block .slick-dots{width:100%;margin:0;bottom:-45px}.inm-slider-block .slick-dots li{margin:0}.inm-slider-block .slick-dots li button{min-width:10px;background:#d2d2d2;margin:5px}.inm-slider-block .slick-dots li.slick-active button,.inm-slider-block .slick-dots li:hover button{background:#676767}<\/style><div class=\"inm-slider-block\">\n            <div class=\"inm-slider\">\n                            <div class=\"slider-item\">\n                                            <img src=\"https:\/\/www.leibniz-inm.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/INM-Besuch-BP-0009.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n                                        \n                                    <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slider-item\">\n                                            <img src=\"https:\/\/www.leibniz-inm.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/INM-Besuch-BP-0003.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n                                        \n                                    <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slider-item\">\n                                            <img src=\"https:\/\/www.leibniz-inm.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/INM-Besuch-BP-0004.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n                                        \n                                    <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slider-item\">\n                                            <img src=\"https:\/\/www.leibniz-inm.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/INM-Besuch-BP-0005.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n                                        \n                                    <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slider-item\">\n                                            <img src=\"https:\/\/www.leibniz-inm.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/INM-Besuch-BP-0007.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n                                        \n                                    <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slider-item\">\n                                            <img src=\"https:\/\/www.leibniz-inm.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/INM-Besuch-BP-0008.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n                                        \n                                    <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slider-item\">\n                                            <img src=\"https:\/\/www.leibniz-inm.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/INM-Besuch-BP-2006-006.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n                                        \n                                    <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slider-item\">\n                                            <img src=\"https:\/\/www.leibniz-inm.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/INM-Besuch-BP-0010.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n                                        \n                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Another groundbreaking application of living materials is the development of implants capable of producing therapeutic agents directly within the body, either continuously or on demand, precisely where they are needed. Professor del Campo\u2019s team demonstrated this concept using an innovative contact lens. Living cells embedded within the lens continuously generate active compounds, enabling sustained drug delivery directly to the surface of the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The visit also provided members of the Diplomatic Corps with an opportunity to explore the broader spectrum of research conducted at INM. Featured projects ranged from next-generation battery technologies\u2014including innovative methods for recovering lithium from end-of-life batteries\u2014in the Energy Materials Department led by Professor Volker Presser, to flexible conductive materials for soft electronics and bioinspired flying sensors for environmental monitoring presented by Professor Tobias Kraus and his team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Federal President Steinmeier and Minister-President Rehlinger expressed their admiration for the outstanding research carried out at INM.
