  1. The Dance of the Atoms

    Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology were able to film this "dance of the atoms", and also provide an explanation for this curious phenomenon.

  2. Ulrike Diebold Receives Adamson-Award

    Metal oxides have highly diverse properties - they can be used as catalysts or protective layers, as insulators or superconductors. For her research in this promising field, Prof. Diebold was awarded the 2013 Arthur W. Adamson Award for Distinguished Service in the Advancement of Surface Chemistry.
