Since their experimental discovery, magnetic skyrmions - tiny magnetic knots - have moved into the focus of research. Scientists from Hamburg and Kiel have now been able to show that individual magnetic skyrmions with a diameter of only a few nanometres can be stabilised in magnetic metal films even without an external...

A research team from the Department of Chemistry at the Universität Hamburg has succeeded in analyzing the structure of a special protein that helps bacteria absorb vital iron. The team led by Prof. Henning Tidow from the Cluster of Excellence "CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter" reports in the journal eLife on its results...

Scientists have proposed a new concept for so-called plasma accelerators that could overcome some of the current limitations of this technology. These novel devices are currently in the spotlight due to their potential for significantly shrinking the size and cost of future accelerator facilities. However, this technology...
