With high-temperature technologies, electrothermal network storage systems are possible, with which large amounts of energy from renewable sources can be buffered. In the joint project LIMELISA, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) are developing the necessary fundamentals together with the industrial partner KSB. The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy is funding research with 3.8 million euros.
In Germany, wind farms and solar systems generate thousands of gigawatt hours of electricity every year, which cannot be used at the moment it is generated and is limited. At other times, missing capacities are replaced with energy from fossil sources. Part of the solution could be large electrothermal storage systems that contribute to grid stability. The basic idea is to convert electricity into heat, to buffer this heat in comparatively inexpensive storage systems and to convert it back into electricity if necessary. “By

Germany Sets Hybrid Guest of Honor for 2021 Abu Dhabi Fair
Moving its physical programming to 2022, the German program plans a hybrid model at Abu Dhabi International Book Fair for this year.

Bin Tamim: ‘Deep Cultural and Intellectual Ties’
As is happening, of course, in the case of many international publishing events this spring, Frankfurter Buchmesse has announced that the planned Guest of Honor Germany physical program at the United Arab Emirates’ Abu Dhabi International Book Fair will be postponed to 2022.
Germany will, however, be represented with a stand at the Abu Dhabi fair this year, and will feature a hybrid cultural and professional program, as well.

A single super photon made up of many thousands of individual light particles: About ten years ago, researchers at the University of Bonn produced such an extreme aggregate state for the first time and presented a completely new light source. The state is called optical Bose-Einstein condensate and has captivated many physicists ever since, because this exotic world of light particles is home to its very own physical phenomena. Researchers led by Prof. Dr. Martin Weitz, who discovered the super photon, and theoretical physicist Prof. Dr. Johann Kroha have returned from their latest expedition into the quantum world with a very special observation. They report of a new, previously unknown phase transition in the optical Bose-Einstein condensate. This is a so-called overdamped phase. The results may in the
