After you have defended your doctorate, it's time for the graduation ceremony. On the 3rd June the first Max Planck Schools graduation ceremony took place in Heilbronn.

On the MPSP side, our graduate Dr. Christopher Spiess was delighted to receive his certificate.

Congratulations to all graduates!

Happy birthday, Max Planck! 🎂The physicist, pianist, #NobelPrize winner, #quantum trailblazer & timeless thinker was born #OTD 1858 in Kiel: his discoveries in the field of #physics forever changed how we understand energy & matter!🎉

Happy #worldbookday!

Did you know Star Trek introduced the concept of photon torpedoes powered by matter-antimatter annihilation? This fictional idea inspired real scientific research by the University of Leicester students in 2016.

What fictional concept would you wish could exist in real life?

2025 marks the centenary of quantum mechanics, a field that has redefined our understanding of the physical world. The date is a nod to Planck’s constant (h), a fundamental constant in quantum physics.
Rounded to two digits, h ≈ 4.14 × 10⁻¹⁵ eV·s → giving us 4.14 → April 14.
