Our institute excels at fundamental as well as applied research, often performed in close collaboration with partners in industry. Our scientific results are published in highly prestigious journals (Science, Nature, Physical Review Letters, PNAS, …). Research at the forefront of physics also provides excellent opportunities for students to get hands-on experience on state-of-the-art methods and techniques.
Scientific work is carried out within 5 Research Divisions (“Forschungsbereiche”)
