New method for generating magnetic vortex  
Magnetic vortices, so-called skyrmions, are regarded as the hope of a more efficient storage technique and are being intensively researched. Scientists have now discovered a method for generating…  
Highest performance from four cycles - record levels for ultra-short infrared pulses  
High intensity infrared pulses of 75 femtoseconds duration at a wavelength of 5 microns provides a new light source with a repetition rate of 1 kilohertz. To generate peak optical powers in the range…  
First imaging of free nanoparticles in laboratory experiment using a high-intensity laser source  
In a joint research project of the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy (MBI), the Technical University (TU) Berlin and the University of Rostock, it was for the first…  
Aspirin tablets help unravel basic physics  
Aspirin in form of small crystallites provides new insight into delicate motions of electrons and atomic nuclei. Set into molecular vibration by strong ultrashort far-infrared (terahertz) pulses, the…  
Water makes the proton tremble - ultrafast movements and short-lived structures of hydrated protons  
Protons in an aqueous environment play a key role in many chemical and biological processes. In Science, Dahms et al. on the direct recording of ultrafast proton motions by means of vibrational…  
A powerful laser system for driving sophisticated experiments in attosecond science  
Attosecond science has revolutionized the way we look into the time-dependent evolution of the microscopic world, where the behaviour of matter is governed by the rules of quantum mechanics. The…  
A perfect attosecond experiment  
Attosecond technology is revolutionizing ultrafast laser physics research, enabling experiments that provide unprecedented insight into the structure and time-dependent dynamics of electrons in…  
Tumult in sluggish electron existence  
An international team of physicists has for the first time directly observed the scattering behavior of electrons in a non-conducting material. Their findings could benefit the radiation medicine.…  
The MBI welcomes Heisenberg Fellow Thomas Fennel  
Prof. Thomas Fennel, Gruppenleiter am Institut für Physik der Universität Rostock, erhält das begehrte Heisenberg-Stipendium, das von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) vergeben…  
Nanostructures as a guidepost for efficient laser proton accelerators  
Nanostructured surfaces have many applications. Among other things, they are used to specifically increase the absorption of light. You can find them wherever it comes to gaining as much energy from…
