We ascertain structure and dynamics of condensed matter, including simple liquids, soft matter, as well as crystalline and amorphous solids. Goal of our studies is to gain a complete understanding of macroscopic behaviors based on the microscopic structures and dynamics.
Scientific problems and methods
Can the mystery of the anomalies of water be unraveled? What relevance do interfaces in nanostructured matter have? What exactly happens during the transport of ions in materials for lithium batteries and fuel cells? These are examples of our scientific problems which we try to solve with a combination of state-of-the-art experimental and computational methods.

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.
