Th, 10. October 2019 → Researchers at the Institute for Materials Research in Aalen (IMFAA) on Wednesday were allowed to witness a substantial moment for Battery Research. At the conference „Advanced Lithium Batteries for Automobile Applications“ in Ulm, it was announced that the Nobel Prize for Chemistry went to Stanley Whittingham, who, in the morning, had held the plenary session and still found himself in the plenum at the moment. So, Dr. Veit Steinbauer, Dr. Stefan Kreißl, Jens Sandherr and Professor Dr. Volker Knoblauch from the IMFAA could deliver their best wishes directly and personally to the Nobel Prize winner.
