Kasra Amini awarded €2.5 million of funding from the European Research Council (ERC)  
Photo of Kasra in the Lab Kasra Amini has been awarded the prestigious Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC). This highly competitive grant is given to exceptional early-career researchers with two to seven…  
New 'Chiral Vortex' of Light Reveals Molecular Mirror Images  
Graphic: Artist's impression of chiral vortex Light The entirely new structure of light could help drug developers see their work more clearly than before. An entirely new structure of light is helping to measure chirality in molecules more…  
Controlling magnetism with polarized light  
Teaser: Graphic black blue green red Intense laser pulses can be used to manipulate or even switch the magnetization orientation of a material on extremely short time scales. Typically, such effects are thermally induced, as the…  
Fundamental spatial limits of all-optical magnetization switching  
Picture: Two soft X-ray pulses interfere on the surface of a ferrimagnetic GdFe alloy Magnetization can be switched with a single laser pulse. However, it is not known whether the underlying microscopic process is scalable to the nanometer length scale, a prerequisite for making this…  
Quantum state mixing in photobiology – new insight from ultrafast terahertz Stark spectroscopy  
excerpt from the graphic The membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin is a proton pump, in which proton transport is initiated by the light-induced isomerization of the chromophore retinal.  The molecular quantum states…  
Scientists decipher the contribution of electrons to molecular chirality  
Teaser: An ultrashort UV light pulse excites two chiral molecules that are mirror images of each other, called enantiomers. A new experimental approach provides the long-awaited tools to understand the role of electrons in the molecular chiral reactivity and offers a way to control physical and chemical properties that…
