Hybrid materials made of magnets and superconductors give rise to fascinating quantum phenomena, which are so sensitive that it is crucial to measure them with minimal interference. Researchers at the University of Hamburg and the University of Illinois Chicago have now demonstrated, both experimentally and theoretically...

The German Physical Society (DPG) has honored Prof. Dr. Andrea Cavalleri with the Stern-Gerlach Medal for outstanding achievements in experimental physics. Cavalleri is founding director of the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) and principal investigator at the Cluster of Excellence “CUI...

A team of scientists from the Cluster of Excellence “CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter” at the University of Hamburg and from DESY has been awarded a prestigious Synergy Grant from the European Research Council, receiving €14 million to combine atomic-scale imaging with the Nobel Prize-winning field of attosecond science, the...
