By fusing physics with machine learning, researchers model complex energy materials at real-world temperatures and scales. [read more]

The future of energy is renewable. How the mix of solar, wind, and hydropower will ultimately be composed remains uncertain. What is certain, however, is that these forms of energy must be efficiently convertible into one another. Yet high losses occur in the process – and the interfaces between… [read more]

For the fourth consecutive time, the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has earned the designation "University of Excellence." This was announced by the Science Council (WR), the German Research Foundation (DFG), and the Federal Ministry of Research on Wednesday evening in Bonn. In its new TUM… [read more]

At the Chemistry Graduation Ceremony, the MPIC student council also presented the “Golden Chalk Awards” for the best teaching of the year. Among those honored was AMC Core Member Prof. Frank Ortmann for the “Best Bachelor's Lecture” (Quantum Mechanics). [read more]

As an expert on data-driven materials modeling, Prof. Phaedon-Stelios Koutsourelakis joins the AMC as the newest core member. He will advance its research in generative modeling, uncertainty quantification, as well as connecting quantum simulations, atomistic methods, and inverse materials design. [read more]

How much CO₂ can trees store during droughts? This is the question being addressed by Prof. Christopher Stein's research project at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), for which he will receive the prestigious ERC Starting Grant from the European Research Council. [read more]

Researchers of the Atomistic Modeling Center (AMC) exchanged scientific views and shared updates on current research at TUM’s Science & Study Center in Burghausen during a retreat from July 22 to 24, 2025. [read more]

A new study from Prof. David Eggers group published in ACS Energy Letters helps solve a puzzle at the heart of one of today’s most promising materials for solar cells. [read more]

This material acts like a solar reservoir – storing energy and releasing it as electricity long after sunset. The captured solar energy can thus also be used to supply electricity in the dark. For the first time, it has been possible to combine solar harvesting and long-term energy storage in a… [read more]
