Chemist Jörg Matysik co-authors review article on spin hyperpolarization
Magnetic resonance techniques are used in a wide range of scientific disciplines and in practice. The best-known example is magnetic resonance imaging in medicine. These techniques are currently enjoying a major boost thanks to the rapidly developing field of spin hyperpolarization. This can…

How nanoplastics can influence metabolism
PET, the plastic used to make bottles, for example, is ubiquitous in our natural environment. In a joint study, scientists from Leipzig University and the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) investigated the negative effects that tiny plastic PET particles can have on the metabolism…
Welcome to Jörg Matysik‘s Molecular Spectroscopy Group at the Institute of Analytical Chemistry. The group aims for understanding the spin- and photochemistry of photosynthetic systems, photoreceptors and of materials by development and application of optical NMR methods.
We want to learn from the best: Nature. Can we build molecular devices that are as good as nature? We want to understand the highly optimized natural systems and recognize their tricks. That is why we are working on the following projects:
HypMol – Hyperpolarization in molecular systems
HYP*MOL is a self-organised research network on hyperpolarisation in molecular systems. The application for a Collaborative Research Centre/Transregional Collaborative Research Centre is currently being submitted to the DFG.
