Einstein says…
“My political ideal is the democratic one. Everyone should be respected as a person and no one should be idolized.” As a catalytic converter, I became aware of the Einstein Foundation in Berlin. Why? Because she published an “Albert” issue on catalysis – with a refreshingly diverse view of the world’s most important industrial process. […]
Dr. Nickl visits EUROPACAT2025
Dr. Nickl is attending the EUROPACAT 2025 conference – the most important trade fair for catalysis research – in Trondheim. Unsurprisingly, Norway has a multitude of catalysis and hydrogen research centers such as SINTEF, NTNU, and others.This international conference brings together scientists, researchers, and industry representatives from around the world to discuss the latest advances […]
Promotion Dominik Kreutzer
Our Dominik has a doctorate! Our Dominik Kreutzer completed his academic career in Regensburg under Prof. Dr. J. Rehbein. His doctoral thesis focused, among other things, on the mechanistic elucidation of Pd catalysis in cyclopropanes. The founder and managing director of C&Camp;, Dr. Nickl, is delighted: “Dominik built the catalysis lab from scratch, complete with […]
Catalysis Research – Quo Vadis
As part of the Munich Catalysis Symposium ’25, Prof. Klaus Köhler from TUM will take us on an exciting journey through the tension between academic motives and the requirements of industrial practice in his lecture. Why is this so important? The challenges to climate and the environment are enormous, and the transformation of industry and […]
MUNICH CATALYSIS SYMPOSIUM ’25
Catalysis is the most important industrial process of all, but it receives little attention. This symposium explores the fact that catalysis is the most important industrial process, yet it receives little attention.The Catalysis Symposium provides a platform and space for users, manufacturers, and researchers to exchange ideas on the topic of “catalytically active centers.” Users […]
New catalyst for biomass gasification plants
The new catalytic converter C&CS#1250 is on the front right. C&CS research success based on work in the MEMBER and GLAMOUR projects The production of biogenic hydrogen from locally available biomass in biomass gasification plants is of great interest with regard to the goal of reducing CO2 emissions to 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 […]
Congratulations to the 2024 Nobel laureates in Chemistry!
The scientific community celebrates this year’s Nobel laureates in Chemistry, David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John Bumper, for their groundbreaking contributions to research. These awards underline the importance of their work for the future of chemistry and science in general. David Baker, a professor at the University of Washington, is known for his work […]
On the 150th anniversary of Carl Bosch’s birth
In memory of the inventor of ammonia synthesis On August 28th. Carl Bosch, a prominent chemist from Germany, would have turned 150 years old. Bosch, born in Cologne in 1874, revolutionized what is now the world’s largest industrial process – catalytic ammonia synthesis and thus fertilizer production. The latter has enabled the population explosion of […]
C&CS at Nanogap metal molecules
During a visit to nanogap in Galicia, Dr. Nickl was amazed by the 5-atom particles with their incredibly precise particle size distribution. Or perhaps clusters, nanoparticles, molecules, metal clusters, or tiny crystals would be more accurate? These unusual chemical and physical properties are being used for quantum dots and pharmaceuticals, and now catalysts are also […]
