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…  
Carbonic acid first measured in liquid water  
Carbonic acid, the hydrated form of carbon dioxide, is one of the most omnipresent molecules on earth. Carbonic acid (H2CO3), however, has hitherto only been measured in isolation in the gas phase…  
Record acceleration for neutral particles  
The largest acceleration of neutral particles in the laboratory to date has been achieved by laser physicists at the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy (MBI). They…  
Miniature particle accelerator: Micro-water droplets as source for laser ion acceleration  
The recently published issue of Physical Review Letters (Vol. 103 Issue 13) selected a publication of the Max Born Institute for the cover image. In this publication (T.Sokollik et al., PRL 103,…  
Attoseconds cinema for electron holes  
For the first time, researchers have been able to follow "live" how the electronic states inside a molecule change, which are ionized by a strong laser field. When ionizing, an electron escapes from…  
Multispot writing in molten quartz  
Nature photonics selected one of the most recent publications from the MBI's ongoing collaboration with the Jean Monnet University of Saint Etienne, France, as one of its research highlights. We cite…  
Hot electrons in carbon - graphite behaves like a semiconductor  
Scientists at the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy in Berlin, Markus Breusing, Claus Ropers and Thomas Elsässer, have now studied the behavior of electrons in thin…  
Ionization dynamics in the light of elliptically polarized femtosecond laser pulses  
Scientists of the MBI (IV Hertel, I. Shchatsinin, T. Laarmann, N. Zhavoronkov, H.-H. Ritze, and CP Schulz) have now shown that with elliptically polarized, ultra-short light pulses, a very clear…  
Carl Ramsauer Prize 2008 went to the Max Born Institute twice  
Dr. Claus Ropers (31) and Dr. Anke B. Schmidt (31) are two of this year's winners of the Carl Ramsauer Prize of the Berlin Physical Society. Claus Ropers was honored for his dissertation at the…
