Scientists have used precisely tuned pulses of laser light to film the ultrafast rotation of a molecule. The resulting “molecular movie” tracks one...

Scientists at DESY and Universität Hamburg have achieved a new world record for an experimental type of miniature particle accelerator: For the first...

Researchers from Universität Hamburg have used machine-learning techniques for improving the identification of quantum phase transitions from...

Sound moves at different speeds depending on whether it passes through air, water or another liquid. In superfluid helium, it can even be heard twice...

A team of scientists from DESY and the Universität Hamburg has achieved an important milestone in the quest for a new type of compact particle...

A team from the Universität Hamburg in cooperation with Forschungszentrum Jülich and the Dutch University of Leiden has succeeded in magnetically...

Light can be used not only to measure materials' properties, but also to change them. Especially interesting are those cases in which the function of...

Using X-rays, a research team has watched live how nanocrystals organize themselves into a highly ordered layer. The study helps to better understand...
