Research at the Department of Physics

In the 21st century nanotechnology is the technology of the future and “nano” is the subject of research at the Department of Physics in Konstanz. The world of the very small is dominated by exotic principles of quantum physics where ordinary materials show novel and surprising properties. Also, light is a quantum phenomenon and much of its nano properties are still not well understood. The insight to the laws in the nano-level allows producing novel materials with tailor-made properties.

Fadenförmige Cyanobakterien in vier verschiedenen Formen

Mit vereinten Kräften zu komplexen Strukturen

Setzt man aktive Filamente einer lokal begrenzten Beleuchtung aus, akkumulieren sich diese zu stabilen Strukturen entlang der Grenzen der beleuchteten Fläche. Auf dieser Grundlage ist es Forschenden vom Max-Planck-Institut für Dynamik und Selbstorganisation (MPI-DS) und der Universität Konstanz gelungen, ein Modell zu entwickeln, mit dem sich die Selbstorganisation fadenförmiger lebender Materie simulieren lässt. Dieses Modell liefert wichtige Erkenntnisse für potentielle technische Anwendungen…

New head of the department

Professor Dr. Clemens Bechinger has been a professor at the University of Konstanz's Department of Physics since 2017. He received his doctorate from the University of Konstanz in 1993 and habilitated in experimental physics there in 1999. His research focuses on soft condensed matter, in particular colloidal systems and their phase transitions, as well as on active particles and dynamic processes far from thermodynamic equilibrium. His scientific awards also include two ERC Advanced Grants and…
