An electron and the surrounding cloud of solvent dipoles couple through electric forces and can undergo joint collective motions. Such many-body…
We are delighted to announce that on June 26, 2023, Dr. Sangeeta Sharma has been installed as a professor at the FU Berlin, in a joint appointment…
The flow of matter, from macroscopic water currents to the microscopic flow of electric charge, underpins much of the infrastructure of modern times.…
Unlocking the secrets of magnetic materials requires the right illumination. Magnetic x-ray circular dichroism makes it possible to decode magnetic…
Starting in January 2023, the research portfolio of the Max Born Institute will be complemented by a new Junior Research Group led by Dr. Daniel…
Light-induced ionization of polar liquids such as alcohols generates free electrons. After generation, an electron localizes on an ultrafast time…
The future development of functional magnetic devices based on ultrafast optical manipulation of spins requires an understanding of the…
Unlike fictional laser swords, real laser beams do not interact with each other when they cross – unless the beams meet within a suitable material…
Magnetic bits for data storage can be written with ultrafast laser pulses, in contrast to the well-established path of using magnetic fields…
A time-dependent electric current emits an electromagnetic wave, a basic physical effect exploited in telecom antennas. Transferring this mechanism to…
