Published in the journal Nature: Researchers use multicomponent alloys to make strong and ductile soft magnetic materials

Researchers from the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung (MPIE), the Technical University of Darmstadt and the Central South University, China, have developed a new design strategy that increases the lifetime of SMMs and paves the way for advanced applications like high-speed motors.

Fonds der TU Darmstadt unterstützt Investitionspläne

Die TU Darmstadt baut ihre wissenschaftliche Infrastruktur aus und plant die Beschaffung neuer Forschungsgeräte für spezielle Experimente im Wert von rund 3,4 Millionen Euro. Die Geräte stärken die wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten in den TU-Forschungsfeldern Energy and Environment sowie Matter and Materials.

Research team for the first time observed a neutral nucleus – the Tetra Neutron

An international research team with leading participation by TU Darmstadt succeeded for the first time to create an isolated four-neutron system with low relative energy in a volume corresponding to that of an atomic nucleus. The scientists have overcome the experimental challenge by employing a new method using a 8He beam and a fast high-energy reaction.

Combining heavy-ion experiments, astrophysical observations, and nuclear theory

An international research team has for the first time combined data from heavy-ion experiments, gravitational wave measurements and other astronomical observations using advanced theoretical modelling to more precisely constrain the properties of nuclear matter as it can be found in the interior of neutron stars. The results were published in the journal “Nature”.

DFG verlängert Förderung für CROSSING und zwei weitere SFB-Transregio

Die TU Darmstadt hat in der neuen Förderrunde für Sonderforschungsbereiche (SFB) überzeugt. Drei SFB in Sprecherschaft oder unter Beteiligung der TU werden um eine dritte Laufzeit verlängert und nun erneut für vier Jahre von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) gefördert. Darunter ist auch ein Projekt im Rahmen der Rhein-Main-Universitäten. Das hat die DFG bekannt gegeben.

Researchers at TU Darmstadt are developing an anti-eavesdropping quantum network

While quantum computers offer many novel possibilities, they also pose a threat to internet security since these supercomputers make common encryption methods vulnerable. Based on the so-called quantum key distribution, researchers at TU Darmstadt have developed a new, tap-proof communication network.

Laudatorin: „Ihre Forschung lässt den Weltraum heller leuchten“

Professor Gabriel Martínez-Pinedo hat gestern einen Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz-Preis 2022 der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) entgegengenommen, der mit einem Preisgeld in Höhe von 2,5 Millionen Euro verbunden ist. Die Auszeichnung ist der wichtigste und höchstdotierte deutsche Forschungspreis.

Programmable biosensors using synthetic biology: Funding as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action

The international “SYNSENSO” Doctoral Network that is coordinated by TU Darmstadt is developing a new generation of modular biosensors. The European Commission has now awarded the network a total of 2.7 million euros of funding as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action.

Activating X-rays – Signalling Cascade in T-cells

Radiation therapy is a proven approach to destroying tumours. However, it is possible that it might be able to do even more in the future – namely stimulate the immune system at the same time and so fight cancer even more intensively. The foundations for this have been laid by researchers led by TU Darmstadt. They have found that x-rays trigger a calcium signalling cascade in cells of the immune system. The results have now been published in the “Journal of General Physiology”.

Publication in “Nature Communications”: Laser serves as compact particle accelerator

A team led by the Technical University of Darmstadt has for the first time made laser-generated neutrons usable for an industrial application. The researchers showed that neutrons generated compactly with lasers can be used in non-destructive material testing.
