Kristallogrpahie & Geomaterialforschung

The manuscript of E. G. Meekel, Ella M. Schmidt et al. (10 more others) "Truchet-tile structure of a topologically aperiodic metal-organic framework" has been accepted on 18.11.22 by the high-ranked journal Science.  A preprint version of this paper has been deposited at arxiv.org.

Nature Geosciences has emphasized the importance of minerals by introducing the new essay/blog "Minerals Matters", see relevant stories in "All Minerals considered" here

OPEN AGAIN: We offer a PhD job for 36 month in cooperation with MARUM on OLIVINE solid solution series and compounds. Materials with the olivine structure are frequently studied for various applications. If you are interested in crystallography and want to look for some diffuse scattering, please get in touch with us. i.e. Prof. Ella Schmidt

We welcome 3 new researcher associated with our group: Lobna Saaed, Jakob Brauer (PhD students in the Crystalline Microporous Materials  group) and Dr. Paul Klar (own research group on Materials Mineralogy themes) who is also welcomed by the Geoscience Department here.

We welcome Prof. Juan Manuel García-Ruiz as guest lecture in the Geoscience Department colloquium  on Wed 8. June at 12:15 in GEO1550 (The formation of giant gypsum crystals: nucleation, growth and preservation). In recognization of his immense achievements, the German Crystallgraphic Society has recently awarded Juanma the Liebau-Prize for the Promotion of Interdisciplinarity in Crystallography. To celebrate this award and to allow for a lifely exchange of opinion and ideas, there will be a reception with beverages and finger food after the lecture just outside of the lecture hall.
