Quantum Materials: New DFG Research Unit with Participation from Bremen Physics professor Michael Sentef from the University of Bremen is a co-spokesperson in the new decentralized DFG Research Unit “Optical Control of Quantum Materials (OPTIMAL).” The research goal is to control the functional properties of novel materials using light. A total of 13 researchers (12 principal investigators and one Mercator Fellow from Harvard) are participating in the new geographically dispersed group, with Professor Dante Kennes (RWTH Aachen University) as spokesperson. Professor Michael Sentef from the University of Bremen is co-spokesperson. “Half of the group works in theoretical physics, like me, the other half in experimental physics,” says Michael Sentef. ”Our goal is to use light to control the functional properties of novel quantum materials – materials in which atomic quantum mechanical effects play an important role on a macroscopic scale.” Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - German Research Foundation

Up to 30 Million Euros for Technology Transfer A celebratory contract signing at the University of Bremen made the founding of Germany’s first JHS MaTeNa innovate! Center official. The Joachim Herz Foundation (JHS Joachim Herz Stiftung) will provide 30 million euros for materials science research applications. Materials science research at the University of Bremen is highly relevant, with current projects developing batteries for the expansion of solar and wind energy, sustainable feed for aquaculture, as well as sensors for hydrogen storage. The JHS MaTeNa innovate! Center at the University of Bremen is now official and aims use foundation research to develop usable sustainable. The center is funded by the Joachim Herz Foundation for a period of up to ten years and is an affiliated institute of the University of Bremen. The University of Bremen’s MAPEX (MAPEX University of Bremen) Center for Materials and Processes submitted the successful application for the MaTeNa innovate! Center. MaTeNa stands for Materials – Technologies – Sustainability (German “Nachhaltigkeit”). At the innovate! Center, materials science researchers will work together with experts from transfer and innovation management to promote the patenting process or the establishment of start-ups, for example. Existing technology transfer institutions will play an important role in this. These include BRIDGE (BRIDGE - Gründen aus Bremer Hochschulen), the central contact point for business start-ups from Bremen’s universities, the University of Bremen’s UniTransfer Administrative Unit and the InnoWi patent and trademark center. 📸 Universität Bremen / Annemarie Popp from left to right: Professor Jutta Günther, President of the University of Bremen, Professor Sabine Kunst, CEO of the Joachim Herz Foundation, and Irene Strebl, State Councilor for the Environment, Climate, and Science.

🏆 Bremer Studienpreis 2024 geht an Maylin Homfeldt 🎉 Wir gratulieren unserer Kollegin aus der Abteilung Leichtbauwerkstoffe zu ihrer Auszeichnung mit dem Bremer Studienpreis 2024! Gestern Abend wurde Maylin Homfeldt (untere Reihe, zweite von links) im Festsaal der Bremischen Bürgerschaft für ihre überzeugende Masterarbeit ausgezeichnet und geehrt. In ihrer Arbeit hatte sie sich am Fraunhofer IFAM mit dem additiven Prozess des Binder Jettings auseinandergesetzt. Mithilfe einer Contact Image Sensor (CIS)-Einheit eines handelsüblichen Dokumentenscanners konnte sie Bilder des Metallpulverbettes mit eingebrachten Binder generieren und mit einem Algorithmus auswerten. Dies ermöglichte es ihr, die tatsächliche Bindereinbringung mit der Soll-Bindereinbringung zu vergleichen und geometrische Abweichungen festzustellen. Eine innovative Methodik, um Qualitätsmängel frühzeitig zu erkennen, gegenzusteuern und zukünftig zu vermeiden. 💥🔍 Maylin ist Alumni des noch recht neuen, interdisziplinären Studiengangs "Prozessorientierte Materialforschung“ (ProMat), der von MAPEX University of Bremen an der Universität Bremen initiiert wurde und in dem einige Mitarbeitende des Leibniz-IWT als Dozierende aktiv sind. Herzlichen Glückwunsch an die erfolgreiche Absolventin - liebe Maylin, wir freuen uns mit Dir! 💐 Foto: ©Focke/Strangmann – Universität Bremen _____________________________________ 🏆 Bremen Study Award 2024 goes to Maylin Homfeldt 🎉 We congratulate our colleague from the Lightweight Materials department on being awarded the Bremen Study Prize 2024! Yesterday evening, Maylin Homfeldt (bottom row, second from left) was awarded and honored for her master's thesis at the Bremen Parliament. In her thesis, she addressed Binder Jetting an additive process at the Fraunhofer IFAM. Using a Contact Image Sensor (CIS) unit of a standard document scanner, she was able to generate images of the powder bed with injected binder during the AM process and evaluate them using an alogrithm. This enabled her to compare the actual binder insertion with the target binder insertion and determine geometric deviations. An innovative method for detecting quality defects at an early stage, taking countermeasures and avoiding them in the future. 💥🔍 Maylin is Alumni of aquite new, interdisciplinary study program "Process-oriented Materials Research" (ProMat), which was initiated by MAPEX University of Bremen at the Universität Bremen and in which some employees of the Leibniz-IWT are active as lecturers. Congratulations to the successful graduate - dear Maylin, we are delighted for you! 💐 Picture: ©Focke/Strangmann – Universität Bremen #iwtbremen #leibniziwt #leibniziwtbremen #masterthesis #prize #engineering #am #science

🎉 Congratulations to Maylin Homfeldt and Dr. Isabell Louise Grothaus! They were honored with the Bremen Thesis Award for outstanding master's theses and dissertations. Both works were completed in MAPEX research groups.

What an incredible start to the Space Tech Expo Europe 2024 yesterday! 🙌 #Bremen vividly demonstrated why it is Europe's City of Space, with the Universität Bremen and #ZARM right at the heart of it. Through dedication, passion, and groundbreaking science, we have worked our way to the international forefront of exploration research. Our first step was the “Humans on Mars” initiative, and now, three years later, we’re approaching the finish line for our Cluster of Excellence application, “The Martian Mindset: A Scarcity-Driven Engineering Paradigm.” In the realm of science, this is the pinnacle of achievement, and we couldn’t be prouder of how far we’ve come! Our formula for success? The vision, the right place, and the people to believe in it! It takes bold, creative minds to ask the questions that address today’s greatest challenges. “The Martian Mindset” is not about the biggest rockets or being the first to set foot on #Mars. Instead, we’re addressing the topic of #sustainability which has an enormous relevance for our future: How can we make space exploration more #resource-efficient? This shift in perspective is essential if we want to explore Mars. And it is more than just a side effect, that this kind of research is also highly relevant to us here on #Earth. Bremen is, of course, the perfect setting for such ambitious endeavors. We have a thriving space industry and Europe’s highest density of space facilities which makes the city indeed a launchpad for innovation in technology. And last but not least, the #people! We’re especially grateful for the incredible support from Bremen’s key decision-makers. Special thanks go to: •  Dr. Andreas Bovenschulte, Mayor and President of the Senate of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen •  Kathrin Moosdorf, Die Senatorin für Umwelt, Klima und Wissenschaft •  Kristina Vogt, Senatorin für Wirtschaft, Häfen und Transformation •  Prof. Jutta Günther, President of the Universität Bremen and representing the research team behind the proposal, Prof. Marc Avila, spokesperson for the “Humans on Mars” initiative and Director of ZARM. We are excited to see where this journey takes us! #CityofSpace #SpaceTechExpoEurope #TheMartianMindset #HumansOnMars #SpaceResearch #UniversityOfBremen #ZARM Rathaus Bremen Sarah Ryglewski MAPEX University of Bremen Kirsten Tracht Kurosch Rezwan Cyprien Verseux Katharina Brinkert Paul Zabel Dr. Vera Hagemann Dr.-Ing.

We did it. Today (14.11.2024) we had the great opportunity to present our Exellence Cluster proposal "Martian Mindset" in Bonn in front of an international reviewer panel. We are extremely thankful for this chance. The entire team around Marc Avila, Kirsten Tracht and Kurosch Rezwan, our spokespersons, deserve a very big applause 👏 Thank you all for four years of intensive work, enthusiasm and continous engagement. I am proud of you. I also very much thank our Senator, Kathrin Moosdorf, for supporting us today and continously!
