Einblicke in die Vielfalt von Thermo‑Fluid-Dynamik und Grenzflächenphänomenen

The latest research, new perspectives, and lively discussion: The TFI Science Day on June 26, 2026, from 2:00–5:00 p.m., will bring together researchers from the Thermo-Fluids and Interfacial Phenomena research area at the Lichtwiese Campus. Take this opportunity to gain insights into current research topics, share your own ideas, and network with colleagues—during the closing poster session with beer and pretzels.

Darmstadts Partnerstädte zu Gast an der TU Darmstadt

Starkregen, Sabotage, Stromausfall: Angesichts vielfältiger Herausforderungen, mit denen Städte heute weltweit konfrontiert sind, wächst die Bedeutung urbaner Resilienz und krisenfester Infrastrukturen. So stand auch der fachliche Austausch zum Europawochenende, zu dem die Wissenschaftsstadt Darmstadt jährlich ihre Partnerstädte einlädt, in diesem Jahr unter dem Thema „Resiliente Infrastrukturen digitaler Städte“. Zum Auftakt am 29. Mai besuchten die Gäste das Anwendungs- und Transferzentrum Digital Resilience Xchange (DiReX) und das LOEWE-Zentrum emergenCITY an der Technischen Universität Darmstadt.

Project CyberStress strengthens defences against cyber attacks

TU Darmstadt and e-netz Südhessen AG have developed a methodology within the research project CyberStress to systematically test the resilience of power grids against cyber attacks. The project aims to enhance security of supply in an increasingly digitalised energy landscape and to establish concrete protective measures for grid operators.

Energyfish: A swarm of floating turbines

The world’s first swarm power plant is currently being built near Sankt Goar: floating mini-turbines by the Munich-based startup Energyminer harness the kinetic energy of the Rhine to generate base-load, climate-friendly electricity. A ZDF report examines this innovative concept and provides a scientific analysis—featuring Prof. Boris Lehmann (TU Darmstadt), who assesses the potential and limitations of this technology.

Laudatorin würdigt visionäre Forschung für klimaneutrale Energie der Zukunft

TU-Professor Christian Hasse hat gestern (18. März) einen Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz-Preis der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) entgegengenommen. Die mit 2,5 Millionen Euro dotierte Auszeichnung gilt als wichtigster deutscher Forschungspreis. Hasse erhielt den Preis für seine herausragende Arbeit im Bereich der reaktiven Thermofluiddynamik. Seine Arbeiten erschließen neue wissensbasierte Wege für eine klimaneutrale Energiezukunft.

Symposium: “The Future of Neighborhoods – Energy Systems in Existing Buildings”

On February 26, 2026, the symposium “Future Neighborhoods – Energy Systems in Existing Buildings” was held at TU Darmstadt. The event was organized by the research team of the EnEff:Stadt Campus Lichtwiese project, led by the Design and Sustainable Construction (ENB) department within the School of Architecture.

Innovation for the energy transition

The energy transition is fundamentally changing the German energy system. The existing power grid, originally designed for a few large central power plants, now faces a multitude of new challenges: increasing feed-in of renewable energies, higher volatility, increasing decentralization, and increased cybersecurity requirements.

TU Professor Christian Hasse receives Leibniz Prize

The German Research Foundation (DFG) has awarded TU Professor Christian Hasse the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize. The award is worth 2.5 million euros and is considered the most important and most highly endowed German research prize. The DFG is thus recognising Hasse's achievements in the field of reactive thermofluid dynamics. His work opens up new knowledge-based paths for a climate-neutral energy future.
