Acceleration of atoms in an intensive standing light wave  
Laser-induced atomic strong-field processes are experimentally investigated almost without exception with progressive (continuous) electromagnetic laser fields. To explain occurring phenomena, the…  
Does quantum mechanics play a role in laser-induced double ionization?  
The multi-electron dynamics in atoms and molecules is one of the great challenges of current quantum physics, which is at the background of many problems ranging from chemical reactions to…  
Secrets of exploding clusters on the trail  
Examining the dynamics of cluster explosions using intense ultraviolet (XUV) pulses has been limited to large scale research facilities such as Free Electron Lasers. A recent publication has shown…  
Dissertationspreis Adlershof 2013 goes to Dr. med. Martin Hempel  
On 13 February 2014, the award winner was selected for the Dissertationspreis Adlershof 2013: Martin Hempel has prevailed against two other nominees and in the unanimous opinion of the jury his…  
Monster waves in the optical experiment - the storm in the test tube  
Random events in nature are often subject to a so-called normal distribution, which allows predicting the probability of extreme events reliably. Especially in meteorology, there are a number of…  
International research team of MBI & AMOLF in the "top 10 breakthroughs" in "physicsworld.com" 2013  
The editorial team of Physics World, the member institute of the British Institute of Physics (IOP), has honored Marc Vrakking, director of the Max Born Institute and Aneta Stodolna, PhD student at…  
How to move electrons along chemical bonds  
With femtosecond X-ray flashes, the Project 3.3 team mapped the motion of electrons in a strong electric field directly and spatially resolved. Moving X-ray images of crystalline lithium hydride show…  
Captivity decides the electron race  
Ultrafast light flashes with the right energy can be blasted onto an atom enclosed in a fullerene cage to kick out electrons from various quantum states. Recently it has been theoretically…  
Real-time observation of electron dynamics in molecules  
An important application for ultrashort laser pulses with an impulse duration in the attosecond range (1 as = 10-18s) is the control of electron dynamics in molecules. If it were possible to…  
One million times brighter than the sun - white light as an extremely short impulse  
Scientists at the Leibniz Universität Hannover, the Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics and the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy have…
