With this last tweet, we say goodbye! Due to the current developments, we have decided to discontinue our activities on X. We are looking forward to staying in touch: Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/mpip-m… LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/max-pl… #eXit #WissXit #ByeByeX #QuitX

New paper from #BINDLAB in collaboration with @LandfesterDept @mpi_polymer is published in @EJPB_ Congratulations to @damla_kelle and all authors.🌟 If you´re interested in the Effect of Protein Corona on Drug Release Behavior of PLGA Nanoparticles:👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I am extremely proud to announce that @Seunghyeon__Kim will start at DGIST in South Korea as an assistant professor. Seunghyeon was a very successful postdoc in my group @mpi_polymer . It was very nice to work with you. We wish him all the best and stay connected!

Heute Abend schon einen Plan fürs Fernsehen? Falls nicht: @VOXde zeigt „Lege kommt auf den Geschmack - Die perfekte Pasta“. In der Jury @ThomasVilgis, ehemaliger Gruppenleiter unseres Instituts. Dann mal: Mahlzeit 😀🍝

#Biomaterialien für die Regeneration von #Nervenzellen: #CarlZeissStiftung fördert Projekt "InteReg" / Kooperationsprojekt der #UniMainz mit @mpi_polymer und @LIRgGmbH erhält sechs Millionen Euro presse.uni-mainz.de/biomaterialien… @CZ_Stiftung

New research reveals special binding patterns in liquid water. A study conducted @mpi_polymer demonstrates that water molecules form strong and weak bonds, resulting in the formation of structures such as rings and chains. mpip-mainz.mpg.de/988689/PM2024-…

Zur Auflösung unserer Quizfrage: Richtig! Forschende des MPI-P haben herausgefunden, dass die oberste Schicht von Salzwasser kein Salz enthält. Mehr dazu könnt ihr hier nachlesen: mpip-mainz.mpg.de/901519/PM2024-…

Formation of optical matter inside and outside the irradiation area of a focused laser beam using hybrid metallic-dielectric core–shell nanoparticles with a 200 nm gold core. @NYCU_official @KU_Leuven @mpi_polymer @uramonllull @HofkensLab #OpenAccess: go.acs.org/bLb

Wer weiß denn sowas? Das MPI-P hat die Kandidat*innen der Fernsehshow "Wer weiß denn sowas?" im ARD ins Schwitzen gebracht. Die Frage nach den neuen Forschungsergebnissen des Instituts konnte leider nicht richtig beantwortet werden. Wisst ihr die richtige Antwort? @DasErste

2nd funding period for #ResearchTrainingGroup 2516 "Control of structure formation in #SoftMatter at & through interfaces" of #MainzUniversity, @mpi_polymer, @TUDarmstadt & @Uni_Stuttgart / @dfg_public provides funding of € 5.2 million press.uni-mainz.de/second-funding… #physics #chemistry

If you hate cancer☠️as much as we do, check out our new preprint on how to fight it with its own weapons!⚔️ We utilize the metabolic states of aggressive cancer cells to enhance selective and effective drug delivery💊@Seah_Ling @WeilTanja @mpi_polymer chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

An interdisciplinary team led by Konrad Meister at the @mpi_polymer has made a breakthrough in understanding ice nucleation proteins. These specialized proteins, produced by bacteria, can efficiently control the freezing process of water. Read more here: mpip-mainz.mpg.de/981532/PM2024-…

Congratulations to Katharina Landfester form the @mpi_polymer (SFB1551 - Project R04) for being awarded the Liesegang Prize in recognition of her work on the world of nanocapsules.🎖️💊⚕️

Thank you Liquid Matter Conference, it was a great experience as always! #LMC2024 @uni_mainz @mpi_polymer @Skandiz

12th Liquid Matter Conference💧📷More than 500 scientists working in the field on the liquid state of matter have come together from 22-27th September on the JGU-Campus, organized by the @mpi_polymer and the physics department of @uni_mainz. Read more: lmc2024.com

A team @mpi_polymer around @SynatschkeLab @WeilTanja has developed a 20nm thin filter using the mussel-like material "polydopamine". It efficiently separates ions & molecules, mimicking biological membranes. Read more in our press release: mpip-mainz.mpg.de/en/press/pr-20…

Prijanka, Gabrielle and Zhicheng presented their work at the #GCSB 2024 – German Conference on Synthetic Biology in Regensburg. Thanks to the organizers for this fantastic conference with many discussions and inspiring talks! It was a great experience. @mpi_polymer

Congratulations to our Director Katharina Landfester @LandfesterDept. She has been awarded the Liebig Medal by the German Chemical Society for her groundbreaking work in organic polymers and nanocapsules! 🏅👏 Foto: GDCh/ MIKA-fotografie | Berlin

On Friday 13. Sept., Dr. Lixin Zhai, Secretary General of the Chinese Academy of Science, along with a delegation visited us. Together with Prof. Yafang Cheng @MaxPlanckChem we discussed the synergy between fundamental research and technological development, and other topics.
