Picture of Sangeeta Sharma 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 with the Max Born Institute.  
A new dynamic probe of electric forces between molecules  
Teaser Graphic Molecular probe Molecules in water and other polar media are subject to strong electric forces. Such forces originate from their liquid environment, which at ambient temperature undergoes ultrafast structural…  
Symmetry breaking by ultrashort light pulses opens new quantum pathways for coherent phonons  
Excerpt of the Graphic Fig. 1 Atoms in a crystal form a regular lattice, in which they can move over small distances from their equilibrium positions. Such phonon excitations are represented by quantum states. A superposition of…  
Laser light hybrids control giant currents at ultrafast times  
 Schematic illustration of the action of hencomb pulse The flow of matter, from macroscopic water currents to the microscopic flow of electric charge, underpins much of the infrastructure of modern times. In the search for breakthroughs in energy…  
Looking at magnets in the right light  
Artist's impression of the XMCD experiment Unlocking the secrets of magnetic materials requires the right illumination. Magnetic x-ray circular dichroism makes it possible to decode magnetic order in nanostructures and to assign it to…  
A Window into the Nanoworld: Scientists Develop New Technique to Image Fluctuations in Materials  
Graphic Foto stylish. Excerpt of the mag of the borders A team of scientists, led by researchers from the Max Born Institute in Berlin and Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin in Germany and from Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Massachusetts Institute of…  
Under pressure – A quantum material reacts to light  
Graphic round: Spatially resolved view on the transient changes of the X-ray absorption during the insulator-to-metal transition in vanadium oxide, induced by an ultrashort laser pulse. The direct observation of the emergence of a new phase in a solid is the analog to the much-discussed molecular movie of a chemical reaction. Now, an international team of researchers has…  
Statement on the collaboration of an MBI researcher with north-Korean scientists  
Statement of the Max-Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short-Pulse Spectroscopy (MBI) on the report of "Deutsche Welle" from Nov 28th 2022 on the collaboration of an MBI researcher with…  
New Leibniz Junior Research Group  
Bild: Porträtbild von Daniel Schick 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  
Graphic: Characterization of the OPCPA pulse performance at 11.4 µm. 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…
