Physical lectures starting again after Covid-19
After a Covid-19 induced year of mostly online lectures, physical lectures have finally started again. Last week saw the first lectures of both the Advanced Catalysis and Nanomaterials courses with great attendance. This brings a great relief to both students and lecturers to which online education posed an obstacle. We are looking forward to the…

Debye physicists and chemists control catalyst structure at the atomic scale
Novel core-shell catalyst design published in Nature Materials. Our MCC group members, Jessi, Liselotte, Giorgio and Petra, found a new way to create better bimetallic catalysts. In a collaborative effort with Soft Condensed Matter (UU), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and Sorbonne University, they show that the catalytic activity of bimetallic catalysts can be enhanced up…
