All-attosecond pump-probe spectroscopy  
An international team of researchers from the Max Born Institute in Berlin, University College London and ELI-ALPS in Szeged, Hungary, has demonstrated attosecond-pump attosecond-probe spectroscopy…  
Mixing laser- and x-ray-beams  
Unlike fictional laser swords, real laser beams do not interact with each other when they cross – unless the beams meet within a suitable material allowing for nonlinear light-matter interaction. In…  
Ultrafast molecular chirality: twisting light to twist Electrons – Olga Smirnova receives an ERC Advanced Grant  
An ERC Advanced Grant has been awarded to Professor Dr. Olga Smirnova of the Max Born Institute and Technische Universität Berlin.  
Persistent swinging of electrons between atomic sites in crystals  
Phonons are quantum excitations which correspond to vibrations of the regular atomic array of a crystal. This crystal lattice consists of a large number of unit cells with an identical atomic…  
Accelerating write/erase cycles in all-optical magnetization switching  
Magnetic bits for data storage can be written with ultrafast laser pulses, in contrast to the well-established path of using magnetic fields administered via a write head. Researchers at Max Born…  
An ultrafast X-ray glance into photoacid electronic structure  
Photoacids are molecules that release a proton upon electronic excitation, thus enhancing the acidity of a liquid. Pioneering work by Theodor Förster has shown the direct relationship between the…  
Attosecond pulses: 100 times more  
Coverbild Attosecond laser pulses in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) are a unique tool enabling the observation and control of electron dynamics in atoms, molecules, and solids. Most attosecond laser sources…  
Center stage for quantum mechanical entanglement in an attosecond laser laboratory  
Quantum mechanics is famous for the way that its predictions challenge intuitive human thinking developed through the way that we experience the everyday world around us.  Among other things,…  
Intense monocycle terahertz pulses from shifting electrons in quantum structures  
A time-dependent electric current emits an electromagnetic wave, a basic physical effect exploited in telecom antennas. Transferring this mechanism to the ultrashort length and time scales of the…  
Lorenz Drescher wins the 2021 Carl-Ramsauer Award  
Lorenz Drescher has been awarded one of the 2021 Carl-Ramsauer Awards from the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft zu Berlin (PGzB) for his dissertation entitled „Transient dipole interactions on…
