Prof. Dr. Tobias Beck was awarded the Academy Prize 2019 for Chemistry at the annual celebration of the Academy of Sciences in Göttingen. Beck received the prize for his works on the self-assembly of hierarchically structured hybrid materials.

Prof. Ruth Signorell and Prof. Alicia Palacios were awarded the Mildred Dresselhaus Prize at the annual conference of the Cluster of Excellence "CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter" in Hohwacht on the Baltic Sea. After the prizewinners had already been named at the beginning of the year, the certificates were now handed over...

Bringing together PhDs and Postdocs, bridging scientific gaps, providing great opportunities for exchanging ideas – these are the main goals of the Young Researchers Workshop on "Frontiers in nonequilibrium dynamics of multicomponent systems in the few- to many-body crossover" organized by a team of four young researchers...

Three scientists from the Department of Physics at the Universität Hamburg are on the now published list of "Highly Cited Researchers 2019" of the Web of Science Group. All three researchers work in the cluster of excellence "CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter".

In a paper published yesterday in Nature Methods, scientists show how to effectively use the high X-ray pulse repetition rate of the European XFEL to produce detailed molecular movies. This type of information can help us to better understand, for example, how a drug molecule reacts with proteins in a human cell, or how...

Austrian physicist Matthias Troyer has yesterday been awarded the Hamburg Prize for Theoretical Physics. At a ceremony held at Planetarium Hamburg, Troyer was honored for his work on quantum Monte Carlo algorithms. Using random numbers, these algorithms can predict how tiny particles will interact within structures such as...
