Long Night of Science 2025
Welcome!
In 2025, we will once again be opening our doors for the Long Night of Science. Visit us on 28 June 2025, 5 p.m. to midnight, at our campus in Berlin-Adlershof. Embark on an exciting journey through modern photovoltaics research with many information stands and interesting presentations on stage.
For example, our solar cell research institutes in Kekuléstrasse will be presenting exciting science and very practical information.
Look forward to an exciting programme! Here you can find our programme for the Long Night of Science at BESSY II and in Kekuléstraße.
- Sasol and HZB deepen collaboration with strategic focus on digitalisationSasol Research & Technology and Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin (HZB) are expanding their partnership into the realm of digitalisation, building on their joint efforts in the CARE-O-SENE project and an Industrial Fellowship launched earlier this year. This new initiative marks a significant step forward in leveraging digital technologies to accelerate catalyst innovation and deepen scientific collaboration.
- Technology Transfer Prize Ceremony 2025This year’s Technology Transfer Prize Ceremony will take place on October 13 at 2 pm in the Lecture Hall, BESSY II Building, Adlershof.
- Novel technique shines light on next-gen nanomaterials: how MXenes truly workResearchers have for the first time measured the true properties of individual MXene flakes — an exciting new nanomaterial with potential for better batteries, flexible electronics, and clean energy devices. By using a novel light-based technique called spectroscopic micro-ellipsometry, they discovered how MXenes behave at the single-flake level, revealing changes in conductivity and optical response that were previously hidden when studying only stacked layers. This breakthrough provides the fundamental knowledge and tools needed to design smarter, more efficient technologies powered by MXenes.
