The Artificial Leaf
When it comes to renewable energies, hydrogen as an energy carrier can't be ignored. HZG scientists are working on a climate-neutral method of producing hydrogen in which sunlight is directly utilised to split water: this is known as photoelectrochemical water splitting. more
MgSafe - Imaging Technologies for Biodegradable Magnesium Implants
Within the EU project MgSafe scientists want to improve current imaging technologies to enhance the visibility of magensium implants in the bone during post surgury check ups. more

Actuators: Shape-memory polymers with the ability to switch back and forth
Scientists at the Institute of Biomaterial Science in Teltow teach specific polymers, so-called shape-memory
polymers, to move. These are also called actuators. How they work exactly is shown in the photo story in in2science #6. more

How does the Climate Service Center Germany GERICS operate?
How may climate change influence society and businesses? What impact may extreme weather such as heavy rainfall events or drought have on my region? The answers to these and similar questions are provided by the Climate Service Center Germany GERICS - an institution of Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht. But how does GERICS operate? more
Shipping Emissions in Focus - Research with a Vision
In order to better understand the complex interplay of sea, land, atmosphere and humans, measurements, modeling and future forecasts must go hand in hand. Dr Volker Matthias analyzes pollutant emissions from ships using chemical transport models. He and his team are supported by the German Climate Computing Center (DKRZ) in Hamburg. more

The environmental state of the coastal sea, adaptation to climate change and alternatives to conventional fuels – the current issue delves into important topics concerning the future. We hope you enjoy reading this issue! more
Mission: searching for pollutants in the Baltic Sea
44 stations, eight ports and one ship:
Scientists from the Department for Environmental Chemistry at the Institute of Coastal Research are on a ten-day sampling campaign from Peenemünde to Flensburg – on the HZG research ship LUDWIG PRANDTL. The researchers are taking samples along the coast of the Baltic Sea and the important riverine inflows to investigate levels and distribution of pollutants. more
in2science #4 - English Version
Check out our photo feature and get a glimpse into what the HZG’s Materials Design and Characterisation Department is doing with metal granules made of magnesium. We don’t want to give away too much here, but it concerns medical technology. In addition to metals, this issue also looks at models and simulations: readers will find an interview with the director of the German Climate Computing Centre, and a HZG coastal researcher provides insights into atmospheric simulation. You'll find these and many other topics from our centre in the current issue of in2science, which is now available on the internet. What’s special is that additional information can be accessed from several pages. Links, for example, might open short videos or take you directly to publications. more

From Small Metal Granules Comes Medical Technology
Materials researchers produce small screws based on a magnesium-titanium alloy using powder metallurgical methods. The staff in the Department of Materials Design and Characterisation at the Institute of Materials Research develop these implant prototypes and determine the alloys’ material properties. They need to be particularly clever when it comes to magnesium. The procedure itself is called metal injection moulding (MIM). [i]All photos: HZG/Christian Schmid[/i] more
