Cluster of ExcellenceCUI: Advanced
Imaging of Matter

Four Young Investigator Group Leaders have started their research at the Cluster of Excellence "CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter" in the past weeks. The positions have been newly introduced as part of the cluster's promotion of young researchers and are aimed at highly talented young scientists with the ability to...

Supporting outstanding young scientists with innovative projects in basic research - that is the goal of the so-called Starting Grants of the European Research Council. Since 1 September physicist Dr. Guillaume Salomon has been using such an ERC grant to investigate fundamental aspects of quantum many-body physics that are...

The coronavirus pandemic continues to affect processes at the University—for example, resulting in the use of digital-based studies, restrictions on traveling abroad, and many administration employees working from home. You will find answers to the most important questions in the FAQ, which is regularly updated. [Last...

This year’s programme and registration form for our Academic Leadership Programme for Women is out now. The event for female scientists* in their postdoc or assistant professor phase aims to empower women in science.

The search for new, super-efficient materials to harvest solar energy is a major research focus around the world. Until now, silicon has been the material of choice for solar cells – but scientists are trying to develop far more efficient and cost-effective alternatives. One promising material is pentacene, an organic...

The formation and properties of polarons drastically influence the conductivity of technologically relevant materials. Examples include the organic semiconductors found in the ecologically-friendly plastic solar cell technologies. Regarding fundamental physics, polarons are even conjectured to play a crucial role in...
