19.09.2025: DFG FOR2804 InterDent Status Update Meeting

Our DFG research group InterDent had the latest Status Update Meeting at the Adlershof Campus of HZB. We had a great day at HZB with fruitfull discussions and scientific exchange between scientists form HZB, TU Berlin, MPIKG, ZIB, Uniklinik Halle and the Zahnklinik of the Charité Berlin.
A big thanks to Katja Frenzel from the PTB and Dr. Stefan Werner from HZB for giving tours of their instruments.

Our cooperation partners show the feasibility to use LIBS for elemental imaging of cocoa beans.
05.05.2025 New FlatJet for NEXAFS measurements in solution

Our new FlatJet from Advanced Microfluidic Systems GmbH is now operational and can be used together with our laboratory NEXAFS system.
18.04.2025: New publication and HZB Science highlight

Ioanna Mantouvalou published her work on the analysis of elemental migration in Li-ion batteries. Using confocal micro-XRF the analysis is possible operando and for long periods of time. See also the HZB science highlight on 29.04.2025.
27.03.2025: New publication

PhD candidate Frank Förste published his new results on the quantification of confocal micro-XRF data. He introduces the first application of a neural network for the quantification of homogeneous bulk samples, which significantly simplifies the evaluation and effectively eliminates the need for human input.
