Prof. Ernst Rank and the TUM-IAS team invite the scientists of TUM and their guests for coffee each Wednesday! Just come over to the TUM-IAS after lunch between 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. and have a coffee with us, meet other scientists and listen from time to time to a short talk (10-15 mins) on a recent major TUM publication or issue – aimed specifically at a non-expert audience.
On February 07, 2018, Prof. Tom Nilges (Syntheses and Characterization of Innovative Materials) will talk about a novel microwave synthesis process allowing a fast, simple, and cost-effective production of high quality lithium cobalt phosphate which has the potential to significantly improve the performance of future batteries (TUM press release).
