Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research have taken a close look at the conversion processes to generate hydrogen. more

Project “MaxSynBio” produces artificial cells more

Dr. Lucas Caire da Silva and Prof. Dr. Katharina Landfester, together with other scientists, have managed to recreate an artificial cell in such a way that individual compartments fulfil the functions of a biological cell. more

The research group led by Prof. Dr. Katharina Landfester lets you take a look behind the scenes. The video explains the individual synthesis steps in the laboratory and which quality controls have to be passed to be able to produce the "perfect" nanocapsule. more
