Where discovery
becomes impact.
Research commercialisation · Deep tech · Ecosystem development
Innovation begins when discovery brings solutions that improve lives. These are the projects that carry the science out of the laboratory.
Designing interdisciplinary projects that connect academia, government, and industries .
We build new research initiatives, advise technology strategy, and welcome cross-border collaborations; the focus is on creating systems that transform knowledge into long-term societal value.

Reproducible mechanochemistry
IBS Center for NanoMedicineOngoing
01
Project scope
Establish a reporting standard that makes solvent-free mechanochemical synthesis transferable between laboratories, by quantifying the energy dynamics of the mills that drive it.
02
The challenge
Mechanochemical procedures are frequently irreproducible elsewhere, because papers report a dial setting — "30 Hz, 60 minutes" — rather than the energy actually delivered. Mill geometry, jar volume, ball count and ball material all change that figure, so the same nominal settings give different chemistry.
03
The solution
Model the energy dynamics of ball mills, compute comparable sustainability factors, and publish the specifications a transfer actually requires. Published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition.
04
The impact
A citable reporting standard for a field with a genuine claim to greener synthesis — and a check on the assumption that "solvent-free" automatically means low-impact, since a mill drawing power for hours may not be.
