As part of the close scientific exchange between the Life, Light & Matter (LL&M) Department and the research focus KiNSIS (Kiel Nano, Surface and Interface Science), we closely follow recent developments at our cooperation partners in Kiel.

A research team at Kiel University (Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel) has recently presented a novel laser-based 3D printing approach that enables the fabrication of dense, transparent glass structures directly during the printing process. This development represents a significant advance in the additive manufacturing of high-performance materials.
The results offer considerable long-term potential for future research directions, particularly at the interfaces of materials science, photonics, and functional materials. Such technological advances provide an important basis for possible future scientific connections and methodological developments.
