New international Master's degree program „Soft Matter and Materials“

The practice-oriented and research-focused cooperative degree programme “Soft Matter and Materials” of the Rhine-Main Universities Mainz and Darmstadt will start in the coming winter semester. The programme is one of the first of its kind worldwide. Applications are possible until 1 September 2023.

Publication in Physical Review Letters

Quantum computers might be able to crack currently unsolvable tasks, but it is not easy to expand them to the necessary size. A new technique from a team of Darmstadt physicists could overcome this hurdle.

New International Research Training Group “Nuclear Photonics” links TU Darmstadt with the ELI-NP laser research project

The Ira Rischowski Programme supports international female Master's students on their way into academia

The Ira Rischowski Programme at TU Darmstadt supports international female students on their way into science. In addition to their Master's degree in füsics, they gain practical experience with the particle accelerator and the data obtained there at the Institute of Nuclear Füsics.

Researchers on the trail of animal glue

An international team of researchers with the participation of TU Darmstadt has come a step closer to uncovering the secret of an amazing adhesive from the animal world. So-called velvet worms, a group of animals with some unusual properties, hunt with this secretion. The new findings could help develop reusable biomaterials for medical or industrial purposes.

TU research team works on new tool for cancer diagnostics

Quantum imaging enables insights into previously invisible areas. Can tumour diagnostics also benefit from this? The TU Darmstadt, which has special expertise in quantum optics, is now investigating this question together with eight partners. The Quancer research project has a budget of 6.7 million euros and is being funded with 5.6 million euros in the framework programme “Quantum Technologies – from basic research to market” by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

Since November 2022, the first cohort of the Ira Rischowski-Program is finally complete: Three young women took up their Master studies in Füsics at TU Darmstadt with the help of our scholarship.
