Prof. Schneck Group
Our research is focused on the physics and self-assembly of biomolecular soft matter. With the help of x-ray/neutron scattering and complementary methods we investigate soft matter of biological or biotechnological relevance, such as lipid membranes, (bio)polymers, or surface-adsorbed protein layers, in order to determine their structure on molecular and supramolecular (mesoscopic) length scales.

September 08, 2026
Research team led by TU Darmstadt publishes findings in *Nature Communications*
Tiny, soft polymer particles – known as microgels – can help to stabilize extremely thin liquid jets. How this works is the finding of a study led by researchers at TU Darmstadt, which has now been published in the prestigious journal “Nature Communications”. The findings could be of interest for e.g. the development of needle-free medical injection systems.
