CRC 1316 is part of the annual report 2023 of the German Science Foundation
The research of CRC1316 is highlighted in the German Science Foundation's annual report. Under the title "Electrifying with Plasmas," the various conversion strategies are explained and illustrated based on the CRC's individual projects.
IdeenExpo 2024
In June 2024, we had the great opportunity to be part of the IdeenExpo in Hanover. The IdeenExpo is Europe‘s largest youth event for technology and natural sciences!
IdeenExpo aims to inspire young minds in the STEM fields and foster future experts.
We had the chance to support the ESERO (European Space Education Office) exhibition stand, thanks to our PIs Susanne Hüttemeister, Ralf-Jürgen Dettmar and Dominik Bomans, who are also ESERO partners.
In collaboration with ESERO, a lot of activities for school kids took place, like workshops, experiments, e.g. with our Kelvin-Helmholtz tube, chats and discussions.
With all that, we had the chance to reach out to thousands of kids - aiming to spark curiosity and love for science.
The IdeenExpo will take place again in 2026 and we are already looking forward to that!

15th workshop on Frontiers in Low-Temperature Plasma Diagnostics
From 29th April until Thursday 2nd May, members of the Department of Pulsed Plasma Systems from the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague, Czech Republic, hosted the 15th Frontiers in Low-Temperature Plasma Diagnostics Workshop (FLTPD XV) in Liblice, Czech Republic. This biannual workshop was attended by a few members of the SFB1316 to connect with other researchers working in low-temperature plasma diagnostics from all over the world. Over the course of four days, nearly 30 lectures were held, discussing recent advancements and results of a variety of diagnostic techniques such as emission spectroscopy, electrical measurements, LIF & TALIF, cavity ringdown spectroscopy, EFISH and many more. Additionally, two poster sessions were held, providing further opportunities for discussions.
