The Cluster of Excellence “BlueMat – Water-Driven Materials” officially begins its work. The first Cluster of Excellence in the history of the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) has the ambitious research goal of developing sustainable, environmentally friendly materials. Water serves as the key to enabling new properties or functions, such as improved insulation or efficient energy storage. The research outcomes of BlueMat are expected to open up extensive application prospects for industry.
