Organic Electronics Group
Welcome to the Organic Electronics group!
We are interested in design, synthesis and application of organic materials in nanoelectronics. By tuning the interface between different materials in electronic devices, self-assembled monolayers (SAM) of organic molecules are serving a variety of functions. We design SAMs which are responsive to external stimuli, creating a novel, highly energy-efficient memory technology and components for neuromorphic computer architectures.

April 15, 2025
An international team of scientists, involving TU Darmstadt Marco Colombo and Prof. Wolfgang Ensinger, has applied for the first-time mobile macroscopic scanning X-ray fluorescence analysis (mobile-MA-XRF) with sophisticated data analysis to examine paleontological objects. These are fossils from the Messel Pit, Germany's first UNESCO World Heritage Site near Frankfurt, Germany. The pioneering study opens up a new avenue for studying in detail the elemental chemistry of fossils conserved in both solid and liquid media in research and museum collections worldwide.

What's the matter? Or what do scientists actually do?
Magnetic fields, the lotus effect and superconductors: at Girls' Day 2025, 15 girls in grades 7-10 were able to immerse themselves in the world of materials science and get a taste of university life.
