Innovation Award Berlin Brandenburg for femtosecond X-ray source for the investigation of molecular structures in real time  
Together with the IfG Institute for Scientific Instruments GmbH, the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy (MBI) for the development of a laser driven x-ray plasma…  
Even more power for laser power packages  
Either with tremendous force or very quickly in a row - that's how you could describe the current state of laser technology. Physicists at the Max Born Institute (MBI) in Berlin want to combine both…  
Elementary particles in couple dance  
Researchers at the Max-Born-Institut in Berlin directly measure the position of electrons and protons during a chemical reaction with ultrashort X-ray flashes. Michael Wörner, Flavio Zamponi,…  
How electrons move  
To understand an atom or a molecule, physicists must not only know their internal structure, but also be able to describe the motion of the electrons. Due to the extremely high speed, this was not…  
A look inside of molecules  
To not only observe but really understand a chemical reaction, scientists need to know the behavior of electrons within molecules. Until now, it has not been technically possible to observe electrons…  
Record set up for shortest controllable time  
Optical methods allow real-time investigations on the shortest time scales, which are not accessible by other methods. With lasers, light pulses of 100 attoseconds can be generated today (1…  
Negative mass and high speed: how electrons go their own way  
Isaac Newton found out in the 17th century that a force causes the acceleration of a body. The inert mass of the body corresponds to the ratio of force to acceleration, i. with the same force a…  
Olga Smirnova receives the Karl Scheel Prize 2010  
Dr. Olga Smirnova, head of the Junior Group Theory "Attosecond multielectron dynamics in molecules" at the MBI, receives the Karl Scheel Prize of the Year 2010. The most important prize of the…  
Molecules in real time - how hydrogen bonds determine structure and function  
Prof. Thomas Elsässer from the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy in Berlin receives an "Advanced Grant" from the European Research Council (ERC) amounting to 2.49…  
Light pressure - the path to efficient ion acceleration with lasers  
The directed acceleration of ions with lasers is one of the current challenges in the field of light-matter interaction. This process can be realized by a series of laser-induced phenomena in the…
