Super-performing materials
Virtual material design makes industrial production more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
Materials science lies at the very heart of our future. It will help us ensure that there will be enough resources for the whole planet and to replace fossil raw materials with renewable, carbon-neutral alternatives. We need new ways to design and produce materials. Synthetic biology and materials science provide tools to develop, for instance, sustainable biobased materials. Thanks to virtual material design, the duration of the development cycle can be halved.
Focuses
High throughput material design and performance optimisation
We accelerate the development of new materials with the help of material acceleration platforms. We develop performance-based materials that are key to enabling new technologies and solutions. We study metal composition and production planning, synthetic biology, soft condensed materials and materials for energy recovery and storage.
