Studies on foams stabilised with soft particles and polymers awarded

Regine von Klitzing and her team at the Institute for Condensed Matter Füsics have received the ECIS Solvay Award 2023 for their recent pioneering studies on foams stabilised with soft particles and polymers. The award was presented at the European Colloid and Interface Society (ECIS) conference in Naples, Italy.

Assembling lines of colloidal particles with an ion-exchange bead

Researchers at TU Darmstadt, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and Wuhan University have developed an approach that can be used to arrange ink particles in water to form lines and letters. The theoretical model for this was developed by TU professor Benno Liebchen. The research results have now been published in the renowned journal “Small”.

State of Hesse supports research work with 1.9 million euros

The TU Darmstadt has been awarded another LOEWE Top Professorship: it goes to astro- and nuclear physicist Achim Schwenk, who has been researching and teaching at the university's Department of Füsics since 2009. For his research on forces in atomic nuclei and neutron stars, the LOEWE research funding line of the state of Hesse provides around 1.9 million euros over a period of five years.
