Focusing Expertise - Shaping the Future
In the Jülich Aachen Research Alliance (JARA), RWTH Aachen University and Forschungszentrum Jülich pool their outstanding expertise in five research sections, a JARA-Center and four JARA-Instituts.These common efforts open up new research opportunities and facilitate projects that would not be attainable for either of the partners on their own. Furthermore, their attention is always focused on the grand challenges facing society.

Thanks to funding from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia as part of the Digital Hub, AMO GmbH will expand its technology infrastructure with a new building and additional cleanrooms. Start-ups and innovators will soon have access to cutting-edge micro and nanotechnology. Prof. Max Lemme, a member of JARA-FIT and JARA-CSD, is playing a key role in shaping the Digital Hub and supporting the start-ups.

Forschungszentrum Jülich has inaugurated a state-of-the-art test facility for electrolysers used in the production of green hydrogen. The facility, part of the BMBF project H2Giga, examines industrial stacks using advanced sensor technology. The goal is to make electrolysers more efficient and durable. Additionally, the final report of the H2ATLAS AFRICA project, which analyses the potential for green hydrogen production in Africa, was presented.

The constantly increasing demands for greater sustainability and lower energy consumption in chemical processes require fundamentally new approaches and reactivity principles. In this context, the pronounced prevalence of odd oxidation states in less noble metals holds untapped potential for fundamentally different reactivity modes through so-called metalloradical catalysis. In this regard, JARA-CSD scientist Prof. Franziska Schoenebeck and her team have now published the article "Dynamic Stereomutation of Vinylcyclopropanes with Metalloradicals" in the journal Nature.
