The BORONPro team was heavily involved in “Türen auf mit der Maus” last Saturday, bringing chemistry to life with fun, hands-on shows for kids. Exploding experiments, colorful reactions, and lots of curious young scientists! A great chance to open our labs and give kids a first look at chemistry (including a bit of boron research).

A massive congratulations to BORONPro Ph.D. student Sarah Lutz for receiving a Bavarian High-Tech Award for her work on BN-doped fluorescent probes for DNA, part of a collaboration between the Helten and Höbartner research groups.
