Science & Engineering Education by Immersive Learning 2-4 October 2019 in Leuven Recent developments in immersive learning technologies are providing exciting new tools for teaching and training programmes, yet they remain underutilised in science & technology education and nowhere is this truer than in the field of chemistry and chemical engineering. The aim of this Summer School is to bring ...

COSMIC session during the Second Process Intensification Conference (IPIC2) in Leuven was a success!!

Our COSMIC 5th network-wide event was held this time in Turin and was organized by our Italian partners at the University of Turin. The event started off with the WP meeting (on Monday 25th Mar 2019), where each ESR presented the progress of her/his work.

CITEC researchers participating in European project The goal of the “Charming” project is not only to better and more effectively train industry workers in a virtual environment than before: the project also aims to get children and teenagers interested in chemistry. Dr. Thies Pfeiffer shows how work in a virtual reactor might look like. Photomontage: CITEC/Bielefeld University When work at ...

Prabhat Ranjan recently published his work in Chemistry A European Journal. Sustainable chemistry always seeks new synthetic tools. This study brings into light new catalytic properties of triphenylphosphine with the following features: fast, inexpensive, and broad applicability towards dearomative spirocyclizations. Triphenylphosphine has been applied for the synthesis of complex spiro(hetero)cycles in batch and employing continuous flow, a field largely dominated by transition metals. In the cover image, triphenylphosphine has been shown to act as a ...

Yesterday, the COSMIC researchers started their third network wide event with a company visit to Weber in Karlsbad. They where introduced in real life applications of ultrasound and transducer design. Also they cut and welded their own key chain with an ultrasonic knife and ultrasonic welding device. After a not so smooth train trip they arrived in Göttingen for the ...
