We are pleased to announce that HYP*MOL has been approved as a Collaborative Research Center / Transregio of the German Research Foundation and will be funded with more than 13 million Euros. From October 2023 to mid-2027, Leipzig University and Chemnitz University of Technology will host this research network of Read more…
A new study with the participation of HYP*MOL spokespersons Georgeta Salvan and Jörg Matysik, the results of which have now been published in the journal Chemical Science, demonstrates a polaron effect in cyanobacteriochromes. It is a light-induced switching process that could be traced in detail over individual sub-process steps, also Read more…

The working groups of Matysik, Sommer, and Künze together with colleagues from Leipzig and Spain have obtained new insights into the mechanism by which enzymes degrade polyethylene terephthalate (PET), one of the most widely used plastic materials. Enzymatic PET degradation is considered a possible eco-friendly recycling solution for plastic waste. Read more…
In the jungle around the Störmthaler See, a lake between the cities of HYPzig and SPINnitz, biologists discovered a new flower. The new flower has been named “HYPERcinth” and because of its intense color: “Müller-red HYPERcynth”. See figure. For further taxonomic and genetic studies, the plant has been brought to Read more…
The group of Kirill Monakhov (IOM, Leipzig) in collaboration with the Institute of Spintronics and Quantum Information of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (Poland), the Quantum Chemistry Group of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Spain), and colleagues from the University of Leipzig discovers unique electron-transport compounds with bio-inspired crosstalk.
