Biotechnology needs tailor-made enzymes: Biocatalysis offers a sustainable, green chemistry by accelerating reactions through enzymes, which are protein-based catalysts present in all living cells. However, developing artificial enzymes for synthetically relevant reactions that do not occur in… [read more]

Getting hands-on experience in the classroom is essential for building academic competence and advancing research. By harnessing the passion of our students, a shared seminar between TUM and TU Graz recently focused on fusion devices and concluded in July. [read more]

The student council MPIC organizes an introductory event at the beginning of each semester for the new first-year students (Bachelor and Master). Additionally, there is further important information and guidance on our Academics page before the start of studies. [read more]

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]

For his research on new drugs against multi-resistant bacteria, Prof. Stephan A. Sieber from the Technical University of Munich was awarded the 2024 Inhoffen Medal by the support association of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) and the Technical University of Braunschweig. The award… [read more]

Our School together with ED, CIT and TUM Gender Equality Office will be present on Wednesday, June 12 starting from 12h at TUM Sustainability Day’s Fair of Opportunities. [read more]
