Stochastic microstructure modeling of hierarchically structured particle systems – A tool for virtual materials testing -
Prof. Volker Schmidt, Institut für Stochastik - Universität Ulm

Stochastic modeling of geometrically complex 3D microstructures is a powerful tool for virtual materials testing. By means of stochastic models, one can generate a large variety of virtual, but realistic 3D microstructures in short time. Furthermore, in combination with numerical ... more

Boron atom clusters and boride nanoparticles
Prof. Barbara Albert, Eduard-Zintl Institut of Inorganic and Physical Chemistry, TU Darmstadt

Borides are hard and refractory materials and often synthesized by high-temperature methods. Bottom-up preparation and working under non-conventional conditions can yield boron-containing compounds (and also nitrides or oxides) that are rare and interesting concerning their behav ... more

The Overproduction of Truth: Passion, Competition, and Integrity in Modern Science
Prof. Dr. Gianfranco Pacchioni, Department of Materials Science, University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy

The way science is done has changed radically in recent years. Scientific research and institutions, which have long been characterized by passion, dedication and reliability, have increasingly less capacity for more ethical pursuits, and are pressed by hard market laws. From the ... more
