New cookbook "Science-Food" - download now!
For this cookbook, staff and guest researchers have told us their favorite dishes from their home countries.
People from many different countries work at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin and enrich our atmosphere. For our cookbook, employees and guest researchers from six continents have contributed their favorite recipes.
Home-cooked dishes are a great way to raise a smile. Hospitality is an important part of the tradition in most countries of the world. Eating, talking and laughing together unites people from all nations. In this new edition of the cookbook, you will find a unique collection of international dishes: from Korean appetizers to Mexican main courses and French desserts.
Let yourself be inspired by the culinary journey around the globe.

- A simpler way to inorganic perovskite solar cellsInorganic perovskite solar cells made of CsPbI3 are stable over the long term and achieve good efficiencies. A team led by Prof. Antonio Abate has now analysed surfaces and interfaces of CsPbI3 films, produced under different conditions, at BESSY II. The results show that annealing in ambient air does not have an adverse effect on the optoelectronic properties of the semiconductor film, but actually results in fewer defects. This could further simplify the mass production of inorganic perovskite solar cells.
- BESSY II: How pulsed charging enhances the service time of batteriesAn improved charging protocol might help lithium-ion batteries to last much longer. Charging with a high-frequency pulsed current reduces ageing effects, an international team demonstrated. The study was led by Philipp Adelhelm (HZB and Humboldt University) in collaboration with teams from the Technical University of Berlin and Aalborg University in Denmark. Experiments at the X-ray source BESSY II were particularly revealing.
