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…  
Nano-trap lattice and linewidth reduction in a Raman-active gas  
Reducing the emission linewidth of a molecule is one of the main objectives of precision spectroscopy. One approach is based on the cooling of molecules close to absolute zero. An alternative…  
Extremely small atomic motions are recorded using ultrashort X-ray flashes  
Periodic atomic motions on a length scale of one-billionth of a millionth of a meter (10-15 m) are imaged by means of ultrashort x-ray pulses. In this new experimental technique, regularly arranged…  
A unified time and frequency image to explain ultrafast atomic excitation in strong laser fields  
The fact that light has to be understood either as an electromagnetic wave or as a stream of "energy quanta" (photons) pervades the history of quantum physics like a red thread. In the case of the…  
Reinforcement of relativistic electron pulses by direct acceleration in the laser field  
A targeted and direct acceleration of electrons in extremely strong laser fields would make it possible to realize novel, ultra-compact accelerators. To achieve this goal, however, the intrinsic…  
Doctoral Prize of the Leibniz Association goes to Dr. Maria Richter from the Max Born Institute  
At its annual meeting the Leibniz Association in Berlin awarded physicist Maria Richter for her outstanding doctoral thesis.  Dr. Maria Richter developed in her PhD thesis "Imaging…  
Ocean rogue waves: a mystery unveiled?  
Rogue waves are extremely high ocean waves that exceed the significant wave height by more than a factor of 2. Extreme waves are also very rare; less than one in 100,000 waves exceeds the rogue wave…  
Benjamin Fingerhut is the winner of the 2016 Robin Hochstrasser Young Investigator Award  
Dr. Benjamin Fingerhut, junior group leader at the Max Born Institute (MBI) receives the 2016 Robin Hochstrasser Young Investigator Award. The award is granted by an international scientific…  
Quantum friction: Beyond the approximation of the local equilibrium  
Systems out of thermodynamic equilibrium are very common in nature. In recent years they have attracted constantly growing attention because of their relevance for fundamental physics as well as for…
