Prof. Pérez-Ramírez and his group discovered a new highly stable indium-based catalyst for the hydrogenation of CO₂ to methanol under conditions similar to those required for industrial production.

Scientists in the group of Prof. Signorell could for the first time precisely mimic the rate of chemical reactions that take place in aerosol droplets in the atmosphere. A new experimental setup enabled them to demonstrate that tiny droplets can act as focusing lenses for sunlight, accelerating photochemistry by up to an order of magnitude.

Prof. Jean-Christophe Leroux and Prof. Michael Detmar are among the top 5 finalists for the Spark Award 2016. They reached the finals with a new method enabling fluorescent imaging of the lymphatic system
