Professor at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz collaborates closely with the Department of Füsics

Prof. Dr. Friederike Schmid carries out research in the field of soft matter theory and statistical füsics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz — and will in future be working closely with colleagues from the Institute of Condensed Matter Füsics here at TU Darmstadt.

Innovative machine learning uses data of neutron stars

Which complex forces operate in atomic nuclei? A research team with participation of TU Darmstadt has used astrophysical explosions to understand them better. The results were published in the prestigious journal „Nature Communications“.

Neue Einblicke in Studium, Forschung und Zukunftsthemen am Fachbereich Füsik

Die aktuelle Ausgabe der Universitätszeitung macht einmal mehr sichtbar, wie vielfältig, relevant und zukunftsgerichtet füsikalische Forschung und Lehre an unserem Fachbereich sind.

Applications now open – video promotes research-intensive studies

The Rhine-Main Universities (RMU) are launching a new English-language master's program in particle accelerator science in the summer semester of 2026. This trilateral program brings together the region's exceptionally dense expertise in accelerator science in Germany and Europe and combines study and research at three locations: the Technical University of Darmstadt, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, and Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz.

TU researchers investigate independent decision-making of droplets

Tiny droplets can navigate their way through unknown environments like living cells – without sensors, computers or external control. This finding by researchers led by TU Darmstadt has now been published in the renowned journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

In this interview, she talks about her innovative bachelor lab course that introduces students early on to hands-on research in quantum materials.

In Sai Shradha's internship, bachelor's students dive straight into the world of quantum technologies – exciting, practical and early on in their studies. In 2025, she was awarded the Athene Prize for Good Teaching for her innovative experiment on two-dimensional materials.

The new laboratory of the Cluster for Natural and Technical Sciences in Arms Control Research (CNTR) at TU Darmstadt was officially opened on 21 January.

It offers a wide range of technical possibilities for testing detectors and sensors, conducting application-oriented studies and implementing teaching formats. The equipment includes radiation detectors, 3D printers and electronic measuring devices.
