Optical micro-spectroscopy is an invaluable tool for studying and characterizing samples ranging from classical semiconductors to low-dimensional materials and heterostructures. To date, most implementations are based on point-scanning techniques, which are flexible and reliable, but slow. [...]

The Helmholtz Knowledge Graph aggregates digital assets and research output from the variousinstitutional and siloed digital infrastructures within the Helmholtz association. It is part of thetechnical backbone of the Helmholtz FAIR data space, that is established by the "Helmholtz Meta-data Collaboration" (HMC). [...]

The reuse of research software is central to research efficiency and academic exchange. The application of software enables researchers with varied backgrounds to reproduce, validate, and expand upon study findings. [...]

Surfactants are of high importance in different industrial sectors such as cosmetics, detergents, oil recovery and drug delivery systems. Therefore, many quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) models have been developed for surfactants. [...]

Constraint-based optimization of microbial strains and model-based bioprocess design have been used extensively to enhance yields in biotechnological processes. However, strain and process optimization are usually carried out in sequential steps, causing underperformance of the biotechnological process when scaling up to industrial fermentation conditions. [...]

The decarbonization of energy systems worldwide requires a transformation of their design and operation across all sectors, that is, the residential and commercial, industrial, and transportation sectors. Energy system models are frequently employed for assessing these changes, providing scenarios on potential future system design and on how new technologies and a modified infrastructure will meet future energy demands.
