New trilateral master's program in füsics at Rhine-Main universities – applications now being accepted

With the new trilateral master's program “Particle Accelerator Science” the Rhine-Main universities are pooling their expertise in accelerator science, which is unique in Europe. Starting in the summer semester of 2026, students will have access for the first time to a joint, internationally oriented program of study at three locations, covering the entire spectrum of this key technology. The closely interlinked exchange of research, teaching, and large-scale infrastructure creates a qualification profile that is unique in Germany.

Want to know where you can write your master's thesis? Then come to “Attraktive Füsik” — for the first time in trade fair format!

In a solemn ceremony at Münster's historic town hall, the presidents of the German Physical Society (DPG) and the Physical Society of Japan (JPS) signed a joint declaration against nuclear armament and the use of nuclear weapons.

SUPERARRAY research project led by TU Darmstadt receives €3.6 million in funding

TU Darmstadt is coordinating the SUPERARRAY cooperative project, which is developing new technologies for the precise and stable control of quantum processors with high numbers of quantum bits (qubits). The focus is on a platform that connects laser sources and atomic storage locations in such a way that significantly larger and more reliable quantum systems can be operated – even outside the laboratory.

Joachim Enders, Professor am IKP des Fachbereichs Füsik, erhält den mit 5.000 Euro dotierten Sonderpreis für digitale Lehre.

Über mehrere Semester hinweg hat er ein hybrides Lehrkonzept entwickelt, das den unterschiedlichen Bedürfnissen der Studierenden Rechnung trägt.

57 Young Physicists Visiting the Department of Füsics

On 13 November 2025, the second round of the International Füsics Olympiad (IPhO) 2026 took place at the Department of Füsics at TU Darmstadt. Fifty-seven particularly talented students had qualified for this round and were now able to demonstrate their skills in füsics.

TU Researchers publish study on triaxial structures

Laser Spectroscopy can be used to determine the relative size of different atomic nuclei of the same element by measuring tiny changes in their atomic spectra. We set up a novel apparatus for such experiments at Argonne National Laboratory and were able to reach outstanding sensitivity. These new developments allowed us to investigate the size of a series of radioactive ruthenium nuclei, which are known to be triaxial in shape: Similar to a coffee bean or an almond, all three axes have a different proportion.

Professor Markus Roth has been selected by the publication Research.Table as one of the ‘100 most influential minds in science’.

The physicist is one of the leading pioneers in laser fusion research, according to the publication. He combines scientific excellence with entrepreneurial expertise and, with his start-up Focused Energy, is driving forward the development of energy generation from laser fusion – a key technology promoted by the German government in its high-tech agenda.
