Freeze like a star! Web exhibition explores the mysteries of the quantum world

Colder than in outer space, higher pressure than 30 sperm whales on a stamp, and super magnets that could hold two Eiffel Towers: The search for new quantum materials - the materials of the day after tomorrow - is taking place today under extreme conditions. Yet it is often difficult to understand what the researchers actually do in their high-performance laboratories.

Game-changer in thermoelectric materials: decoupling electronic and thermal transport

A new study overcomes a major challenge of thermoelectric materials, which can convert heat into electricity and vice versa, improving conversion efficiency by more than 60%.
