Observing first signatures of polaritons at extreme-ultraviolet wavelengths opens a new pathway to explore light-matter interactions for fundamental science and semiconductor lithography.

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) have theoretically demonstrated that photons trapped inside an optical cavity carry detailed information about a material placed within it. By measuring properties of the photons leaking out of the cavity, researchers can probe how an...

Two research groups from the Cluster of Excellence "CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter" can look forward to receiving support for their working groups. The teams led by cluster spokesperson Prof. Francesca Calegari and Prof. Carmen Herrmann will receive funding to train two PhD students as part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie...

Great success for the Center of Excellence CUI: From 1 January 2026, the Cluster of Excellence “CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter” will be funded for a further seven years as part of the Excellence Strategy of the German federal and state governments.
