A spinning top of light  
Short, rotating pulses of light reveal much about the internal structure of materials. An international team of physicists headed by Prof. Misha Ivanov from the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear…  
When electrons dance waltzes - Right- and left-handed molecules can be distinguished by short laser pulses  
The identification of right- and left-handed molecules is crucial for many applications in chemistry and pharmacy. An international team of researchers (CELIA-CNRS / INRS / Max Born Institute /…  
Flexibility and order - the interaction between ribonucleic acid and water  
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) plays a key role in biochemical processes that occur at the cellular level in an aqueous environment. Mechanisms and dynamics of the interaction between RNA and water have now…  
Instant x-ray footprints  
MBI scientists together with colleagues from Italy have established a way to detect the exact x-ray fluence footprint generated on a sample by a free electron laser pulse.

Lightwave-controlled nano accelerator opens up new perspectives  
Extremely short electron packets are the key to many new applications such as ultrafast electron microscopy and laboratory-scale free-electron lasers. A team of physicists from the University of…  
A new type of third-order nonlinearity in magneto-plasmonic structures  
The study of nonlinear phenomena in magneto-plasmonic waveguides is of great interest, not only for their fundamental importance, but also for potential applications in integrated nano-optical…  
Physicist Lisa Torlina awarded Marthe Vogt Prize  
The Forschungsverbund Berlin e.V. awards this year's Marthe Vogt Prize to Dr. Ing. Lisa Torlina for her dissertation in the field of quantum mechanics. As part of her work at the Max Born Institute,…  
Researchers at MBI fulfill a long-cherished dream and study molecular conversion on a time scale of a few femtoseconds  
The observation of crucial first femtoseconds in a photochemical reaction requires experimental techniques that are not found in the typical arsenal of femtosecond chemistry. But such fast dynamics…
