Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter have made a groundbreaking advancement in light-controlled superconductivity, demonstrating that superconducting properties can be enhanced by coupling materials with quantum light in optical cavities. This study uses magnesium diboride (MgB2), a well-known…
Mariana Rossi, head of a Lise-Meitner Excellence group in MPSD, has been awarded a prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant worth €2 million. The funding will support her project, “Steering the Quantum Dynamics of Confined Molecular Materials” (QUADYMM), over the next five years. The research aims to uncover how to drive the atomic motion of molecular…
MPSD Director Angel Rubio along with an elite team of world-renowned scientists— Tal Schwartz (Tel Aviv University), Thomas Ebbesen (University of Strasbourg), and Abraham Nitzan (University of Pennsylvania)—has been awarded a highly competitive ERC Synergy Grant valued at €10 million. This funding will support their research into the…
The renewed funding comes from Columbia University, the Flatiron Institute, the MPSD and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz, Germany. The New York Center will also expand to include Cornell University as a new partner institution.
The workshop in northern Spain, organised by the New York City Center on Non-Equilibrium Quantum Phenomena, provided the perfect forum to discuss some key questions for the quantum science era.
Marie Curie Fellow Christian Schäfer spent five days at the annual Lindau Nobel Laureate meeting - together with 650 other junior scientists. The exchanges with Nobel Laureates like Serge Haroche and Donna Strickland left him deeply inspired.
The multiferroic NiI2 has greater magnetoelectric coupling than any known material of its kind, making it a prime candidate for technology advances, an international research team reports in Nature.
A theory team from the MPSD collaborating with researchers in the United States and Switzerland has explained the key mechanism leading to terahertz amplification in the excitonic insulator candidate Ta2NiSe5. The work has been published in Nature Communications.
