We are happy to welcome Ardavan Makvandi in our team from 01.10.23. He will support us in the project "WirLebenSOFC"! We are looking forward to the cooperation.

Kristian Kraft successfully completed his master's degree in physics on September 5 with his master's thesis on "Identification of structural changes and electrical properties of 3D microstructures as a function of pressure and temperature." The thesis was supervised by Y. M. Eggeler, Q. Sun and C. Dolle supervised. Following this, he will start his PhD thesis at LEM. We wish him good luck!

We are happy to welcome Arne Schwartz to the MNM-LEM team. Since 01.08.2023 he is working on his bachelor thesis on the topic "?????". We wish him much success!

Our comprehensive electron microscopy seminar took place in Bad-Herrenalb from 19-21.04.2023. We had a good time together with fruitful scientific exchanges, new ideas to interconnect, and social events. Looking forward to the next EM seminar.

We had a very inspiring electron microscopy conference in Darmstadt with many own contributions. We met friends and colleagues in person again and look forward to the next microscopy event.
