How can we build cities more sustainably in the future and use the remains of old buildings in a CO2-saving way for the circular economy? How can artificial intelligence be used to develop climate-friendly materials faster and more efficiently? What do plant fibres have to do with sustainable flame protection? And how can roads for future moon bases be built from moon dust using 3D printing?
Researchers from the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) will answer these and many other questions during this year's Berlin Science Week, which will take place from 1 to 10 November in Berlin.
Those interested can experience research on climate change on 8 November at Popkudamm in Berlin's City West from 10 am to 7 pm. At the BAM stand, researchers will show how coconut fibres, acacia sap and cassava peels can be used to produce sustainable and efficient building materials.
On 10 November, BAM also invites you to a workshop on Fire Science. The focus will be on the effects of climate change on fire fighting and prevention. International experts will present their research on new safer materials, e.g. for lightweight construction and sustainable flame retardants.
These and all other BAM contributions to the Berlin Science Week 2022 as well as information on registration can be found at https://www.bam.de/berlin-science-week.
