Better catalysts are needed for a more sustainable chemical industry, but traditional catalysis has intrinsic limitations.1,2 According to the emerging theory of dynamic catalysis, intermittently stimulating catalysts surface chemistry, for example using light, electric fields, or strain, can boost catalytic performance beyond static catalysis limits.3 [more]

Building on the success of its inaugural edition in 2023, OPERANDO NANO INTERFACES (ONI) returns as a triennial international conference dedicated to revealing dynamic functional interfaces through operando and in situ characterization. Bringing together leading researchers advancing interface science through experiment, theory, and materials design, ONI provides a unique forum to advance atomic- and molecular-scale understanding of dynamic interfaces in catalysis, electrochemistry, batteries, and energy materials.

Ernst Ruska Symposium: Gateway to the Micro Universe

Ernst Ruska Symposium

  • Date: Nov 23, 2026
  • Time: 09:00 AM - 06:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
  • Location: Harnack Haus

Special Symposium for the 40th Anniversary of the Nobel Prize Award to Prof. Ernst Ruska for the Invention of the Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). The transmission electron microscope is one of the most powerful analytical tools scientists have at their disposal for visualizing the structure and chemistry of both hard and soft materials. In 1986, the Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded to Prof. Ernst Ruska, a former director at the Fritz Haber Institute, for his invention of the transmission electron microscope. [more]
