MSE is the largest conference on materials research and technology in Germany, taking place Sep 29th to Oct 1st in Darmstadt. As in previous years, we are co-organizers of Symposium C03: Tribology: Understanding Mechanisms of Friction and Wear Across Scales and Disciplines.

The project "Laserauftragsschweißen von Funktionsschichten aus Formgedächtnislegierungen" aims to develop an innovative bolted joint that compensates for temperature-related setting losses. It is co-financed by the European Union and offers a sustainable and cost-efficient solution.

The call for abstracts has been published: preparations for WOM2027 are underway, and we’re part of the organizing team. In Banff, Canada, the latest research findings on material wear will be discussed—from nanoscale scratches on silicon chips to the failure of mining drill bits.
