Former CUI researcher Prof. Hong-Guang Duan was awarded with the Early Career Scientist Prize in Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics 2023 by The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP). He received the prize "for his outstanding contributions to the field of biomolecular lightharvesting and excitation...

The new round of applications for the dynaMENT Mentoring for Women in Natural Sciences program is now open. This program is aimed at women in the field of natural sciences who aspire to a career in scientific research. The program consists of two program lines: dynaMENT advanced and dynaMENT doctorate, ensuring tailored...

A pollen grain showing the nanofoam within or a diatom with the individual geometric structures inside clearly visible: Using high-energy X-rays from the PETRA III synchrotron light source at DESY, a team led by Saša Bajt and Henry Chapman has managed to image these structures without damaging them. Their new technique...

During the transition from the liquid to the solid glass state, a special state forms at the atomic level between a disordered liquid and a crystalline solid. A DESY research team led by Felix Lehmkühler, who also conducts research in the Cluster of Excellence "CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter", has now presented a new...

Prof. Franscesca Calegari is a new spokesperson of the Cluster of Excellence "CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter". Together with Prof. Henry Chapman and Prof. Klaus Sengstock, she will present the cluster to the outside world and help prepare the future strategy.

An international research team has demonstrated unambiguously that the bulk crystal Ta2NiSe5 is not an excitonic insulator, settling the debate around the microscopic origin of symmetry breaking in the material.
