🔬 Science and Politics in Dialogue 🏛️ An important meeting took place between the Senatsverwaltung für Wissenschaft, Gesundheit, Pflege und Gleichstellung (Department for Science) and the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society. Dr. Jutta Koch-Unterseher, Head of the Department for Non-University Research, met with the Managing Director Prof. Dr. Beatriz Roldan Cuenya and the Deputy Managing Director Prof. Dr. Karsten Reuter. The discussion focused on the #challenges and #opportunities of non-university research institutes like the Fritz Haber Institute. The significance of basic research for society and the #sustainable future projects of the two directors were particularly emphasized. 🌍🔍 Another central topic was the role of #WomenInScience and the measures that both politics and science can take to address the existing imbalance. 👩🔬👩🏫 This meeting underscores the important #collaboration between science and politics to promote #innovation and #equality in research. 🤝✨

Congratulations Dr. Andrea Martini 🎉 We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Andrea Martini, a post-doc in the Operando Hard X-ray Spectroscopy group led by Dr. Janis Timoshenko at the Interface Science Department of the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society, has been honored with the prestigious SILS Young Scientist Award 2024. 💫 https://lnkd.in/d__5_rff

🌿 When ions go hiking: New Insights into Solvation Kinetics at Electrocatalyst Surfaces 🌿 The Interface Science Department of the Fritz-Haber Institute at the Max Planck Society has made additional strides toward "Exploring Dynamic Solvation Kinetics at Electrocatalyst Surfaces," as detailed in their article in the prestigious journal Nature Portfolio Communications. 📚 Link to the Article: https://lnkd.in/dXRHW3gN Among other reactions, the researcher focused on the ion solvation kinetics when evolving green hydrogen 🌱 and when oxidizing green ammonia 🌿, two key chemicals in the green energy transitions. These findings are important because they help us better understand the pathways that electrolyte ions take on their way toward solid surfaces. Knowing the valleys and mountains 🏞️ and the number of trails 🛤️ that the ion is encountering is crucial for developing more efficient batteries 🔋 and electrolyzers or to fight corrosion. Imagine, we could follow and even control the ion’s hiking trail 🥾 to create more eco-friendly, durable and powerful energy sources – these new insights bring us closer to that goal. 🌍✨ https://lnkd.in/dYDN8pRg
