💡 Kann Laserlicht dabei helfen, Antibiotikaresistenzen schneller zu erkennen? Darüber sprechen Dr. Anja Silge und Marie-Luise Enghardt vom Leibniz-IPHT in der aktuellen Folge des Podcasts „Mikroben im Visier“. 🎧 Jetzt reinhören: mikroben-im-visier.podigee.io/14-neue-epis....

💧Clean water is one of our most important resources. Yet micropollutants such as pharmaceutical residues and pesticides increasingly threaten aquatic ecosystems. Together with our partners, we are developing graphene-based sensors in the #MikroGraph project for on-site detection of these pollutants.

Prof. Juergen Popp, Scientific Director @leibnizipht.bsky.social and Professor of Physical Chemistry at #UniJena, has been awarded the 2026 Ellis R. Lippincott Award for his pioneering contributions to translational clinical Raman spectroscopy. Congratulations! 👏 ➡️ www.uni-jena.de/391182/juerg...

🌖 The IM-2 mission to the Moon’s South Pole starts today, with sensors from Jena on board – developed and manufactured in our Competence Center for Micro- and Nanotechnologies. The sensors are designed to measure the extremely low temperatures on the Moon’s surface over great distances.

A cross-functional team at Leibniz IPHT has earned the recognition ✨ Editor's Pick ✨ in Optical Materials Express for their research on Tm-doped optical fibers. Their article delves into new possibilities for laser technologies in medical and biophotonic applications.

In their latest review, our researchers Sarah Jasmin Finkelmeyer and Martin Presselt explore how supramolecular structures and chromophore interactions shape the optical and electronic properties of organic thin films – key for advancing materials in photovoltaics, sensors, and optoelectronics.

Our latest research was featured on the cover of the Lab on a Chip Journal! 🎉 The paper presents a fuzzy logic control system for precise droplet positioning in microfluidic chips, ensuring 95% stability and enabling high-throughput screening.
