Research
The Department of Physics concentrates its research activities in five main areas: Condensed Matter, Particle Physics, Medical Physics, Accelerator Physics and Cold Atoms. The research groups deal with current topics in their respective research fields and work on experimental or theoretical problems. They are integrated into coordinated programs, such as Collaborative Research Centers or Research Training Groups. The individual research focuses are closely linked to a large number of non-university and also international research institutions in terms of content and personnel.



![3D visualisation of human neuronal tissue reconstructed by multi-scale X-ray phase contrast tomography. Neuronal cell nuclei are shown in yellow for the granule neurons in the dentate gyrus region of the hippocampus. Blood vessels are shown in red. By changing the X-ray optical magnification in the multi-scale recordings, one can zoom into regions-of-interest (red ovals). In these scans the resolution is high enough to resolve sub-structures of the nucleus, associated with different DNA packing regimes.
