Scientists from the marine and materials sciences win over the Excellence Strategy of the federal and state governments: Two Clusters of Excellence go to Bremen. This also qualifies the university to apply for the title of “University of Excellence”.

Researchers from across Europe met at ZARM to design novel experiments at the interface between quantum physics and gravity – an interdisciplinary workshop supported by COST networks and Quantum Frontiers.

A research team developed an innovative approach to test the limits of Einstein's general theory of relativity. The results of their mathematical model could be verified with the help of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

How does microgravity influence the formation of thin film morphologies in organic solar cells? On May 8 at 14:00, Jan van Stam (Karlstad University, SE) reveals how drying dynamics change aboard parabolic flights and sounding rockets.

How can we detect tiny hints of new physics in gamma rays from distant galaxies? On May 5 at 14:00, Tomislav Terzić from the University of Rijeka (Croatia) shows how Cherenkov telescopes test for Quantum Gravity effects.

Electrolysis is becoming increasingly important. On April 24 at 2 pm, Dominik Krug from RWTH Aachen explains how gas bubbles behave during electrolysis and why they sometimes stubbornly stick to electrodes instead of detaching, reducing efficiency.
