Selected Topics in Physics - seminar with discussion groups and presentations of the participants.

Tracking functional processes in realtime - during operation - can now be realized for many biological and inorganic systems using advanced spectroscopic methods. This approach has been termed operando spectroscopy. We will start with a round of introductory group presentations and joint discussions focussing on the spectroscopic basics,  followed by individual presentations on topical research in the areas of (i) biophysics and (ii) the CO₂-neutral production of "green" hydrogen as well as carbon-based fuels.
