CENIDE is a research center that focuses on nanoscience as the main research area of the UDE. The experience of more than 70 working groups is divided into six main research areas.

In a bid to tackle the issue of energy supply going forward, the specially funded NETZ research building is where the expertise of chemists, physicists and engineers all come together.

The ICAN analysis center with its complementary range of equipment is open for internal as well as external use.

Generating electricity from heat differences or mechanical energy has been possible for a long time. But the materials required are usually expensive, rare or toxic. Physicist Dr. Anna Grünebohm from the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) researches harmless and easily available alternatives. She has succeeded in recruiting one of the coveted Emmy Noether junior research groups, and will be funded with more than €1.3 million for six years.
