SGL Group: Utz-Hellmuth Felcht Award First winner honored at the International Carbon Conference in Shanghai
7/29/2011
• Professor Walter de Heer recognized for his invention of graphene based electronics
• Concept "Carbon based Solutions for Urban Life" presented
Shanghai, July 29, 2011. SGL Group - The Carbon Company - has awarded the Utz-Hellmuth Felcht Award for the first time at the International Carbon Conference in Shanghai. This prestigious donation of Euro 20,000 will be awarded by SGL Group every two years in honor of its former Supervisory Board Chairman Utz Hellmuth Felcht. Honored will be outstanding scientific and technological contributions in the field of carbon and ceramic materials.
The first winner of the Felcht Award is Professor Walter de Heer from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA for his merits in the area of graphene research and his revolutionary concept of graphene based nanoelectronics.
Dr. Gerd Wingefeld, member of the Board of Management of SGL Group, responsible for Technology and Innovation: "The challenges of our time are global: Energy production from alternative sources, energy storage and energy efficiency. Carbon in its various forms and applications can contribute mastering these challenges. Through his work on electronic transportation mechanisms in graphene, Prof. Walter de Heer opened the door to a new era of extremely small electronic circuits."
Individual graphite layers are known as graphene. In 2010, Konstantin Novoselov and Andre Geim were awarded with the Nobel Prize in Physics for their contributions in the field of electrical properties of the thinnest graphite layers. Graphene has the potential to replace silicon in electronics for applications such as ultra-high frequency electronics.
At the time, SGL Group presented its "Carbon Based Solutions for Urban Life" concept, which focuses on innovative applications and sustainable solutions through the use of carbon-based products - from electromobility to lightweight solutions, energy efficient infrastructures and cooling systems in buildings.
About the Utz-Hellmuth Felcht Award
Honored will be outstanding scientific and technological con¬tributions in the field of carbon and ceramic materials. This comprises polygranular carbon and graphite materials, carbon fibers and their composites, silicon carbide (SiC) based ceramics, applications of carbon and graphite in energy production, energy storage and energy savings, nanoforms of carbon as well as break¬throughs in manufacturing and new applications. Quintessen¬tial contributions in computer modeling of these materials will be considered as well.
In general, the Award will honor single scientific and technolo¬gical contributions which provided recent impact of significance on the technological area of carbon and graphite materials or have the character of a breakthrough in science.
The Utz-Hellmuth Felcht Award will be presented biennially on the occasion of the International Carbon Conferences which are held in Asia, Europe and the USA alternately. The selection of the awardees is dedicated to an International Award Committee composed of six renowned scientists and persons of high standing in industry.

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
