Mit Focused Energy hat erstmals eine Ausgründung der TU Darmstadt den Einhorn-Status erreicht.
Als Einhörner werden Start-ups bezeichnet, die mit mehr als einer Milliarde Dollar bewertet werden. Das 2021 gegründete deutsch-amerikanische Laserfusionsunternehmen hatte zuletzt eine Finanzierungsrunde bekanntgegeben und zählt zu den führenden Unternehmen der Laserfusion.

Researchers from the Department of Physics at TU Darmstadt publish a comprehensive review article on position-momentum entanglement in quantum optics
Quantum technologies promise revolutionary advances in communication, imaging and sensor technology – yet their potential depends crucially on the quality and controllability of the underlying entanglement.

Picture: KI-generiertNew insights into the decay of neutron-rich atomic nuclei
Researchers at the IKP are improving our understanding of the formation of heavy elements in the universe
How are heavy elements formed in the universe? Extremely neutron-rich atomic nuclei and their beta-decay rates play an important role in this process. Until now, it has been very difficult to determine these rates experimentally. Researchers from the Department of Physics have developed theoretical predictions for such processes and successfully compared them with experimental data, where they exist. The results were published in the renowned journal “Physical Review Letters”.
