Dr. Susanne Nies heads the Green Deal Ukraina project at HZB, which aims to support the development of a sustainable energy system in Ukraine. The energy expert has now also been appointed to the European Commission's scientific advisory group to comment on regulatory burdens in connection with the net-zero target (DG GROW).
With its Industrial Plan for the Green Deal, the European Union aims to promote the development of a competitive cleantech industry that secures prosperity and jobs. The Net Zero Industry Act provides a framework for this. The Act is intended to stimulate investment and create better conditions for the cleantech market in Europe. A group of experts will accompany this process and report on how the legal requirements affect economic activities in order to enable timely adjustments.
Energy expert Dr. Susanne Nies has now been appointed to this important advisory body. The seven experts come from different disciplines and have been appointed for an initial term of four years.
Susanne Nies heads the Green Deal Ukraina project at HZB, which supports the development of a sustainable energy system in Ukraine. A political scientist by training, she brings with her many years of experience from her work as a manager and consultant for the energy market, particularly in Eastern Europe. ‘I am delighted to be able to contribute to optimising the legal framework in a knowledge-based manner during this exciting time,’ says Susanne Nies. The appointment is recognition of Susanne Nies' long-standing commitment to evidence-based policy and cooperation between industry and science.
- Protein crystallography at BESSY II: faster, better and more and more automaticMany diseases are linked to malfunctions of proteins in the organism. The three-dimensional architecture of these molecules is often highly complex, but it can provide valuable insights into biological processes and the development of drugs. X-ray diffraction at the MX beamlines of BESSY II can be used to decipher the 3D structure of proteins. To date, more than 5000 structures have been solved at the three MX beamlines. Here, we present a review and an outlook with Manfred Weiss, head of the research group for macromolecular crystallography.
- Humboldt-Fellow at HZB-Institute for Solar Fuels: Alexander R. UhlAlexander R. Uhl, UBC Okanagan School of Engineering in Kelowna, Canada, aims to develop with Roel van de Krol from the HZB Institute for Solar Fuels an efficient and inexpensive photoelectrolyser for producing hydrogen using sunlight. His stay is being funded by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
- What Zinc concentration in teeth revealsTeeth are composites of mineral and protein, with a bulk of bony dentin that is highly porous. This structure is allows teeth to be both strong and sensitive. Besides calcium and phosphate, teeth contain trace elements such as zinc. Using complementary microscopy imaging techniques, a team from Charité Berlin, TU Berlin and HZB has quantified the distribution of natural zinc along and across teeth in 3 dimensions. The team found that, as porosity in dentine increases towards the pulp, zinc concentration increases 5~10 fold. These results help to understand the influence of widely-used zinc-containing biomaterials (e.g. filling) and could inspire improvements in dental medicine.
