Unbraked flashes of light  
A novel fiber conducts ultrashort light pulses with the highest precision. Researchers at the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy (MBI) have developed a novel optical…  
Hydrogen bonding: Scientists find new mechanism  
Water is omnipresent and is the foundation of all life on earth. However, the processes that take place at the molecular level in water are still not understood in every detail. Bernd Winter and…  
The crystal strikes back  
The cavalier start of electrons in a crystal does not remain without consequences for their further destiny. This is reported by the Berlin researchers Peter Gaal, Wilhelm Kühn, Klaus Reimann,…  
Molecular Pirouettes - Researchers from Berlin and Munich view molecules as they align with ultrafast photochemical reactions  
Ultrafast separation of electrical charge within a molecule during a photochemical reaction causes up to ten thousand neighboring molecules to reorient themselves in molecular pirouettes. Now…  
Nature selects two recent MBI releases for its News and Views section  
Two recent publications from the MBI on proton transfer in water and ultrashort electron pulses have been presented in the News and Views section of Nature Magazine. In the March 15, 2007 issue,…  
Title page ChemPhysChem 5/2007: Relaxation of excited states in protonated adenine  
The time-resolved study of isolated chromophores has a long tradition at MBI. Dirk Nolting and co-workers have now extended this method to protonated biomolecules. For the DNA base adenine, an…  
Electron flashes for the nanoworld - a new source of ultrashort electron pulses  
Researchers at the MBI have presented a novel source of extremely short electron pulses. It is a wafer-thin tip of gold, which is excited with ultrashort light pulses to send out electrons. The…  
The external evaluation of the MBI was completed with excellent results  
On November 23, 2006, the Senate of the Leibniz Association adopted the unrestricted funding recommendation for the next 7 years, stating that the MBI was "one of the world's leading institutes in…  
"J. Phys. B's 2006 Highlights," selected by the editors of the Journal of Physics B  
Two of the 24 highlights of the year 2006 come from the project 2-02. Topical Review: "Above-threshold ionization by few-cycle pulses", D.B. Milosevic, G.G. Paulus, D. Bauer, and W. Becker, J. Phys.…  
Current Funding Ranking of the German Research Foundation (DFG)  
In the current funding ranking of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), the Max Born Institute performs excellently. Third-party funding at the DFG is considered to be one of the most important…
