Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics with main entrance
The Institute has substantial experimental and theoretical research programs that are focussed on novel materials with useful functionalities. Of particular interest are spintronic materials and devices, neuromorphic devices and systems, nano-photonics, topological metals and insulators. The Institute is involved in extensive collaborative research projects, both National and International, with partners in China, India, Europe including Israel, and the USA.

Max Planck Day 2018
For the Max Planck Day 2018, the two Max Planck Institutes from Halle had teamed up to present a section of their respective fields of research to a broad public. In two lectures, they presented to the public the role played in microbiological data and structures both in physics and in social and cultural anthropology.It was the first joint public event of the two institutes since their founding in Halle. The Institute of Microstructure Physics conducted the event in a newly opened large auditorium.
Max Planck Day 2018
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr. h.c. Gerhard Fettweis from TU Dresden gave an exiting talk about future electronic developements.
Visit of ERC President Prof. Jean-Pierre Bourguignon
On November 06, 2018 a delegation of ERC grantees of Saxony-Anhalt, the Ministry of Economy, Science and Digitalisation, and the ERC President visited the MPI. Later on that there was a meeting held at the Academy of Sciences Leopoldina that included a discussion of all awardees about future research topics and grant schemes.
IMPRS-STNS
IMPRS-STNS is a dynamic school that tailors the teaching to each doctoral student individually. In addition to their research projects,IMPRS-STNS graduates are given the opportunity to take part in a complementary training programme.
Laboratory
The institute has an extensive infrastructure that includes a state of the art modelshop, electronics workshop, a supercomputer, and a clean-room, as well as a wide range of modern experimental facilities.
Meeting area
We created a new open space area for discussions, and meetings. This should help to foster interaction among the members of the institute and any visitors.
