The University of Twente has appointed Prof. Bart Jan Ravoo as unremunerated professor of Intelligent Soft Materials at the Department of Molecules & Materials S&T for the duration of 5 years. University of Twente news
The CRC1459 cordially invites you to the 3rd international Münster Symposium on Intelligent Matter – MüSIM24 to be held on Wednesday, the 25th of September 2024 in the Center for Soft Nanoscience (SoN).
A research team led by physicist Prof Ursula Wurstbauer is investigating how the properties of two-dimensional crystals stacked on top of each other can be controlled to exhibit different behaviours, e.g. as an insulator, an electrical conductor, a superconductor and a ferromagnet. University News
Learn more about optical analysis with Filmetrics (KLA) at an upcoming online workshop on the 7th of July at 10am. This 20 minute presentation with a Q & A session is sponsored by the Münster Nanofabrication Facility (MNF): MNF Website
Carsten Schuck’s research group is designing, building and testing a receiver unit for a quantum key generation process and the operation of secure communication in a gas pipeline system produced by PSI Software SE. “Any attempt at eavesdropping would be noticed immediately, rendering the key generation system independent of the measuring devices,” explains Carsten Schuck. They are building and testing the chips at the Münster Nanofabrication Facility (MNF) and the Centre for NanoTechnology (CeNTech). University News
A team led by Prof Frank Glorius has now developed an evolutionary algorithm that searches for optimal molecular representations based on the principles of evolution, using mechanisms such as reproduction, mutation and selection. It identifies the molecular structures that are particularly relevant to the respective question and uses them to encode molecules for various machine-learning models. University news
As Christos Gatsogiannis is packing his bags in his hometown of Karditsa, in Greece, before setting off to study in Germany – instead of Athens, like his friends – he is 18 years old. He has long wondered about whether it is the right decision – but everything falls into place very quickly: in Germany, his doubts are dispelled as soon as he has embarked on his language course at the Goethe Institute in Frankfurt.

Physicist Dr. Shabnam Taheriniya has been awarded the Infineon Doctoral Prize 2024, endowed with 3000 euros, for her excellent doctoral thesis at the University of Münster. For her dissertation in Professor Gerhard Wilde's group, she investigated the inner interfaces in a new class of materials known as high-entropy alloys, analyzing the mixture of high-entropy alloys with different crystal structures forced by intensive plastic deformation. Dr. Taheriniya also investigated the behavior of the materials under irradiation with fast, heavy ions as well as their microstructure and the inner interfaces and their magnetic behavior using transmission electron microscopy methods in the Münster Nanofabrication Facility (MNF).
The Department of Physics at the University of Münster awards the Infineon Doctoral Prize annually together with Infineon AG. University news (German)
As representatives of the numerous areas in which outstanding research is carried out, six people present their work in the video, thereby sharpening the view beyond the boundaries of their own science. Prof. Dr Christos Gatsogiannis, Prof. Dr Eva Viehmann, Prof. Dr Martin Winter, Dr Samuel Young, Prof. Dr Dr Hubert Wolf and Prof. Dr Dina El Omari make it clear that the University of Münster offers an ideal research environment for small and large subjects and is interdisciplinary and future-oriented - both in basic and applied research.

Up for a challenge? Join us for a Design Thinking workshop presented by the experts from REACH. Team up with other scientists to turn a scientific topic into a business idea in this 2-day innovation challenge.
Prof. Armido Studer has been awarded the "Paracelsus Prize" by the Swiss Chemical Society. The award, which is worth 20,000 Swiss francs (a good 20,700 euros) and a gold medal, is granted every two years to scientists who have carried out outstanding scientific research in chemistry at an international level.
