Fluctuating liquid structure induces ultrabroad infrared absorption: The hydrated proton on ultrafast time scales  
The elusive infrared absorption continuum of protons in aqueous environment has been topic of intense controversial debate since half a century. A team of scientists from the Max Born Institute and…  
Dr. Olga Smirnova installed as Professor at the Technical University Berlin  
The Technical University Berlin has installed Dr. Olga Smirnova as a Professor for "Theoretical Physics with a Focus on Atomic and Molecular Laser Physics" on 30 June 2016. The S-Professorship is…  
Spin polarization by strong field ionization  
Strong field ionization has been studied for more than half a century. Nevertheless, the role of electron spin has been largely overlooked during this process. Our combined experimental and…  
The quantum swing - a pendulum that swings back and forth at the same time  
Ultra short terahertz pulses excite two-quantum oscillations of atoms in a semiconductor crystal. The terahertz waves radiated by the moving atoms are analyzed by a new time-resolved technique and…  
Ultrafast photoelectron spectroscopy reveals wrinkles between different autoionization channels  
With the help of time-, energy- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy, researchers from the Max Born Institute in Berlin, in cooperation with colleagues from Milan and Padua, succeeded in…  
Thomas Elsässer receives the Ellis R. Lippincott Award  
Thomas Elsässer, Director at the Max Born Institute and Professor of Experimental Physics at the Humboldt University in Berlin, receives the Ellis R. Lippincott Award 2016 in recognition of his…  
Amplification of sound waves at extreme frequencies  
An electric current through a semiconductor nanostructure amplifies sound waves at extremely high frequencies. This method enables novel, very compact sources of ultrasound, which can serve as a…  
Invisible flashes of light ignite nano fireworks  
A team of scientists from the Max Born Institute in Berlin and the University of Rostock has found a new way to make transparent nanoparticles abruptly opaque and to heat them up with lightning fast.…  
A fast dance on the surface: The dynamics of water at the interface to DNA  
New infrared experiments in the ultra-short time range show that the first two layers of water around the DNA double helix fluctuate on a time scale of less than 10-12 s and directly influence the…  
The death of Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Sandner  
The research association Berlin e.V. (FVB) mourns the laser physicist Prof. Dr. med. Wolfgang Sandner. He died on Saturday, December 5, unexpectedly at the age of 66. At the Max Born Institute for…
