Fundamental Physics at Freie Universität Berlin
The physicists at Freie Universität Berlin continue the pioneering scientific tradition of great minds such as Albert Einstein, Max Planck, Otto Hahn, and Lise Meitner, who once worked in Berlin-Dahlem — now home to Freie Universität Berlin.
Creating Fundamentals for Future Innovations
The physicists at Freie Universität Berlin conduct groundbreaking fundamental research in biophysics (https://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/en/forschung/biophysik/index.html), quantum physics (https://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/en/forschung/quantenphysik/index.html), ultrafast physics (https://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/en/forschung/ultrakurzzeitphysik/index.html), nanophysics and surface science (https://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/en/forschung/nanophysik-oberflaechenphysik/index.html). They regularly publish their scientific findings in renowned journals such as "Nature" and "Science".
In addition, the department hosts several collaborative research centres and scientific consortia (https://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/en/forschung/sonderforschungsbereiche/index.html), where physicists work closely together in large international and interdisciplinary teams.
