We are proud to announce that our research team – Fatemeh Mirsafi, Associate Professor Till Leißner, and Professor Yogendra Mishra – received the BHJ Innovation Award 2025 during last week’s ceremony ahead of Industry Day.
Their work tackles a critical challenge in modern electronics: efficient cooling for increasingly compact and powerful components. Traditional methods like fans or water cooling are reaching their limits. The team’s solution? Nanofluids – smart suspensions of engineered nanoparticles that dramatically improve heat transfer.
In proof-of-principle experiments, they achieved 15–20% higher thermal conductivity with ultra-low particle concentrations, paving the way for energy-efficient cooling in next-generation electronics for healthcare, environmental monitoring, and smart automation.
Congratulations to the team for bridging advanced nanomaterials research with real-world applications! 👏
