The new cluster of excellence (EXC) „Blue Mat - Water Driven Materials“ has started. BlueMat's aim is to develop nature-inspired, sustainable and interactive material systems that reveal their functionality in water or aqueous environments, or that derive their unique functionality from the special properties of water.
The Electron Microscopy Unit BEEM is part of the EXC cross-area project imaging (CA imaging). The aim of the cross-area is to create a unique multimodal and correlative imaging framework to quantify the behavior of water in multiscale structured matter with unprecedented accuracy and completeness across 10 orders of magnitude in length and 16 in time.
