Terahertz waves from electrons oscillating in liquid water  
Ionization of water molecules by light generates free electrons in liquid water. After generation, the so-called solvated electron is formed, a localized electron surrounded by a shell of water…  
Dr. Michael Schneider receives the European XFEL Young Scientist Award  
The European XFEL Young Scientist Award recognizes outstanding contributions of young researchers in the early stages of their career to research at European XFEL. Michael Schneider received the…  
White turns into (extreme-)ultraviolet  
Researchers from the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy (MBI) have developed a new method to modify the spectral width of extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) light. By…  
High-flux table-top source for femtosecond hard X-ray pulses  
Femtosecond hard X-ray pulses are an important tool for unraveling structure changes of condensed matter on atomic length and time scales. A novel laser-driven X-ray source provides femtosecond…

Extending solid-state electronic structure calculations to ultra long-range length scales  
Density functional theory (DFT) has had a tremendous impact on solid-state physics and is, due to its computational efficiency, at the heart of modern computer based material research. While DFT…  
Chemistry in Motion - Jochen Mikosch receives 2 million Euro of funding from the European Research Council (ERC)  
Jochen Mikosch receives a prestigious Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council (ERC). In a highly competitive and thorough procedure it is awarded to established researchers with 7-12…  
Magnesium contact ions stabilize the macromolecular structure of transfer RNA  
In cells transfer RNA (tRNA) translates genetic information from the encoding messenger RNA (mRNA) for protein synthesis. New results from ultrafast spectroscopy and in-depth theoretical calculations…  
Twisting magnetization with light – Laser pulses enable faster creation of skyrmions in magnets  
A team of scientists led by the Max Born Institute (MBI), Berlin, Germany, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, USA, has demonstrated how tiny magnetization patterns known…  
Photon-recoil imaging: a new route to study nonlinear x-ray physics  
One key scientific driver for the development of intense x-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) has been the prospect to transfer the concepts of nonlinear optics into the x-ray spectral range. Now…
