Imaging of Matter

The coronavirus pandemic continues to affect processes at the University—for example, resulting in the use of digital-based studies, restrictions on traveling abroad, and many administration employees working from home. You will find answers to the most important questions in the FAQ, which is regularly updated. [Last...

An international team of scientists have studied, for the first time, the light induced oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO) to carbon dioxide (CO2) on the surface of an oxide photocatalyst in real-time using the soft X-ray free-electron laser FLASH combined with theoretical calculations. According to their findings, which are...

Three further researchers will complete the group of Young Investigator Group Leaders at the Cluster of Excellence "CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter": Dr. Irene Fernandez-Cuesta and Dr. Frank Schlawin started their research at the cluster on 1 October 2020, Aaron Kelly will follow on 1 January 2021. With Dr. Thore Posske...

An interdisciplinary research team from Universität Hamburg and the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron wants to develop a new test for the screening of infections with SARS-CoV-2, which should be inexpensive, fast and mobile. The first prototype should be ready in 1.5 years.

Two scientists from the Department of Physics at Universität Hamburg have made it onto Clarivate's "Highly Cited Researchers" list published today. Prof. Henry Chapman and Prof. Wolfgang Parak are researching in the Cluster of Excellence "CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter" and were also on the list last year.

Since the 17th century, researchers have explored tiny objects in their most fundamental detail using light and optical microscopes. However, because visible light has a wavelength more than a thousand times larger than the size of an atom, today’s most advanced microscopes routinely image the atomic world with electrons...
