Ever heard of a wall made out of air? 😲 On the harbor floor at BASF, perforated pipes create this rising curtain of air bubbles. It traps pollutants right inside the harbor basin so they never even reach the river. Environmental protection in non-stop action! 💪💧👇
Have you ever heard of this technology before? Let us know in the comments!
Something exciting is bubbling in this 1,500 L fermenter… 👀🫧 We teamed up with Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant to scale things up – and yes, it’s working. What exactly is coming out of it? Nice try. Not telling (yet). 😉
Stay tuned… the reveal is getting closer.

Inventory recording used to take time, patience, and concentration - or just a quick walk-through. In Armin Bader and Marc Biedermann’s lab, RFID tags with built-in chips have recently made inventory recording over 75 percent faster, reduced errors, and noticeably simplified day-to-day operations.
RFID technology itself is not new, but its use in this area at BASF is. The principle is simple: a small radio tag with an integrated chip is affixed to every piece of laboratory equipment to be inventoried. The chip, including the radio antenna, is embedded as an ultra-thin layer beneath the printable surface of the adhesive label, whose print layout can be freely configured. This so-called transponder transmits its information contactlessly to a mobile reader.
A walk through the lab is all it takes, and the reader automatically detects all devices with an RFID chip within range, even if they are inside cabinets. The result: less effort in daily operations, greater speed, and a better overview.
And that's exactly what digitalization should be like, don't you think? Share your thoughts in the comments.
