Photosynthetic antenna complexes can serve as role models for bioinspired artificial solar cells. Light harvesting and excitation energy transfer in photosynthesis is relatively well understood at cryogenic temperatures up to ~100 K (see e.g. [1] and references therein), where crystal structures of several photosynthetic complexes including the major antenna complex of green plants (LHC II)...

In the context of nuclear installations like nuclear power plants as well as accelerators and target facilities, there are many research topics relating to safe operation, improved utilization of nuclear fuel, waste disposal and final disassembling. In particular, non-invasive and non-destructive methods are needed to gain insight into non- or difficult reachable locations in materials or...

Reducing weight or increase operating temperature are possible ways to reduce energy consumption. For metals this usually means developing stronger microstructures so that less material has to be used or creep resistant alloys that can operate longer and at a higher temperature. The playground to optimize the mechanical properties is vast and that is why even after a long-standing mature...
