DFG verlängert Sonderforschungsbereich 1245

Die Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) verlängert zwei Sonderforschungsbereiche (SFB) der TU Darmstadt für eine weitere Förderperiode. Ein SFB ist in der Kernphysik angesiedelt.

Researchers at TU Darmstadt present two new publications

Depression, obesity or chronic pain – all of these disorders can be triggered or promoted by stress. In two recent publications in renowned scientific journals, researchers at TU Darmstadt show new ways of treating stress-related diseases.

Forschung der Arbeitsgruppe Experimentelle Festkörper-Quantenoptik

Die Quantenphysik ermöglicht eine neue Form der Bildgebung, die die Krebsdiagnostik präziser machen könnte. Physiker aus Darmstadt, Jena und Barcelona haben die Methode praxistauglicher gemacht.

TU Graduate School Life Science Engineering receives EU funding

Excellent research at the interface between engineering and life sciences: 15 interdisciplinary international doctoral students are to receive top-level training at TU Darmstadt as part of a newly approved programme. This will support and expand the range of courses offered by the Graduate School Life Science Engineering.

State of Hesse supports research work with 1.9 million euros

The TU Darmstadt has been awarded another LOEWE Top Professorship: it goes to astro- and nuclear physicist Achim Schwenk, who has been researching and teaching at the university's Department of Physics since 2009. For his research on forces in atomic nuclei and neutron stars, the LOEWE research funding line of the state of Hesse provides around 1.9 million euros over a period of five years.

Bridging the gap between academic research, industrial infrastructure and venture capital

On 27-28 June, the 4th SynBio World Cafe took place in Darmstadt, Germany, organised by the German Association for Synthetic Biology – GASB e.V. with support from SPRIND – Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen and the Centre for Synthetic Biology at TU Darmstadt. Bridging the gap between academic research, industrial infrastructure and venture capital, the SynBio World Cafe brings together individuals from all over the Synthetic Biology landscape.

Vier TU-Forschungsprojekte für Förderlinie „LOEWE-Exploration“ ausgewählt

Von der Analyse von (Stamm)zellen oder Nanopartikeln, der Interaktion mit Interviewpartner:innen bis hin zu Fragen zu Weltraum und Raumfahrt: Vier Projekte der TU Darmstadt sind für die neueste Förderrunde „LOEWE Exploration“ des Hessischen Wissenschaftsministeriums ausgewählt worden. Sie werden nun zwei Jahre lang finanziell unterstützt.

The first ryon Summer School of the Rhine-Main Universities

Early career researchers with a background in molecular biology, biochemistry, synthetic biology or biomolecular engineering are invited to join the first ryon summer school from 4–8 September 2023. The event will bring together scientists with the aim to generate business ideas in the domain of synthetic biology.

Athene Young Investigator Pelin Tozman is carrying out research into alternative components

Permanent magnets are one of the key elements of climate neutral technologies. They are important components of e.g. wind turbines or electric motors. However, rare earth elements are needed for their production and the degradation of these materials is becoming more and more problematic due to the growth in the green energy market. Dr. Pelin Tozman, a new Athene Young Investigator at TU Darmstadt, is conducting research into a new generation of permanent magnets that will have more affordable components, use fewer resources and which can also be made safer and more efficient thanks to the use of artificial intelligence.

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.
