New Leibniz Junior Research Group  
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 Schick. His proposal “Following Complex Spin…  
Intense femtosecond light pulses in the mid-infrared for spectroscopic and technical applications  
A new light source generates ultrashort infrared pulses at wavelengths around 12 µm with previously unattained peak intensity and stability. First experiments in vibrational spectroscopy on…  
Magnesium ions slow down water dynamics on short length scales  
The presence of ions affects the structure and dynamics of water on a multitude of length and time scales. New results from ultrafast spectroscopy and theoretical analyses show that the water…  
Watching the fate of molecular nitrogen with X-rays, when an electron has been kicked out  
The observation of lasing in the forward direction in air upon focusing intense femtosecond light pulses has been a puzzling phenomenon since first observations have been reported about two decades…  
How far can a proton make its presence felt when embedded in water?  
Proton hydration, i.e. the involvement of a certain number of water molecules in solvating an excess proton, has been an intensively investigated research topic. It plays a pivotal role in the…  
Professor Howard R. Reiss passed away at the age of 93  
On August 25, 2022, Professor Howard R. Reiss passed away at the age of 93. For the past 18 years, Prof. Reiss has worked at the MBI, which had become his scientific base. His scientific…  
Magnetic skyrmions – ready for take-off?  
Magnetic skyrmions are extremely small and stable swirls of magnetization, often referred to as ‘topological quasi-particles’ since an emerging stability embraces this spin ensemble. As such,…  
Electrons in alcohol – concerted molecule and charge motions at terahertz frequencies  
Light-induced ionization of polar liquids such as alcohols generates free electrons. After generation, an electron localizes on an ultrafast time scale, forming a so-called solvated electron…  
Following ultrafast magnetization dynamics in depth  
The future development of functional magnetic devices based on ultrafast optical manipulation of spins requires an understanding of the depth-dependent spin dynamics across the interfaces of complex…  
All-optical switching on a nanometer scale  
Ultrafast light-driven control of magnetization on the nanometer length scale is key to achieve competitive bit sizes in next generation data storage technology. Researchers at Max Born Institute in…
