Excellent Master, Diploma, and PhD Students from all over the world from different disciplines are invited to participate in the international summer university ISUenergy2015. The ISUenergy2015 will take place from Aug. 23rd - Sept. 4th 2015 in Falera/Switzerland.

The interdisciplinary summer university focuses on solar energy under a multitude of perspectives: from the physics of photovoltaics and solar thermal energy to solar architecture and electromobility, smart grids and the economic and political aspects of renewable energy use. These topics will be treated in lectures, evening talks, practical workshops, and group projects.

This summer university is internationally established since 2009 and provides a unique setting for students to enrich their knowledge on energy topics. Splendid network opportunities among the students and with the lecturers will be offered.

    Hope for better batteries – researchers follow the charging and discharging of silicon electrodes live

    Using silicon as a material for electrodes in lithium-ion batteries promises a significant increase in battery amp-hour capacity.The shortcoming of this material is that it is easily damaged by the stress caused by charging and discharging.Scientists at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB) have now succeeded for the first time in observing this process directly on crystalline silicon electrodes in detail.Operando experiments using the BESSY II synchrotronprovided new insights into how fractures occur in silicon – and also how the material can nevertheless be utilised advantageously.
