💯 years ago, the #FischerTropsch process was invented in Mülheim - and it's still shaping sustainable energy today! From coal to CO₂, it's evolved to power a greener future. 🌍
Thanks to everyone who joined us for the #100thAnniversary celebration!
Last chance to apply for our Summer School ⚠️
The application deadline is today.
Don't miss the opportunity to spend an interesting, informative and communicative week with us, full of fascinating talks, practical exercises and fun of course ☀️ 💬 👩🔬

First beamtime of the year with a very nice team and might I add, a successful one too at SAMBA, @synchroSOLEIL where we measured from Ru K, Pd K to Fe K and Se K edges. Time for a long nap before we dive into data analysis.
