The origins of life remain a major mystery. How were complex molecules able to form and remain intact for prolonged periods without disintegrating? A team at ORIGINS, a Munich-based Cluster of Excellence, has demonstrated a mechanism that could have enabled the first RNA molecules to stabilize in… [read more]

In this episode of NewIn, we meet Prof. Helge Stein. He develops new materials for catalysis and rechargeable batteries, and aims to connect and accelerate research in the lab using machine learning, artificial intelligence and robotics. [read more]

Whether it's a smartphone, e-bike, or electric car - when the battery is running low, all we can think about is: how often will we be able to talk, cycle, or drive with the same battery? And then there's the question of how long the battery will last overall and how many charging and discharging… [read more]

Atomistic modeling of molecules and materials is a booming field and enables new technologies. The impact of atomistic modeling has been accelerated in recent years through artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, allowing more realistic and industry-ready studies. The Atomistic Modeling… [read more]

From the scanner at the supermarket checkout to high-speed internet surfing to fibre optic cables: developments in quantum physics have long been part of our everyday lives and are widely used. In the new special exhibition, “Light and Matter”, quantum optical phenomena are now illuminated and being… [read more]
