Can I still register for seminars? What are the rules for working from home? And what guidelines must international guests observe? The following pages answer the most important questions about the coronavirus. These FAQs are updated continually. [Last update: 1 April 2020, 11:39 AM]

A team of scientists has built a miniature double particle accelerator that can recycle some of the laser energy fed into the system to boost the energy of the accelerated electrons a second time. The device uses narrowband terahertz radiation which lies between infrared and radio frequencies in the electromagnetic...

An international team of researchers from Switzerland, Germany, the USA and Great Britain has uncovered an anomalous metallic behavior in an otherwise insulating ceramic material. The team used ultrashort light pulses with a wide range of colors to watch what happens when the insulating quasi two-dimensional material...

Prof. Dr. Tobias Beck has been awarded the Max von Laue Prize 2020 of the German Society for Crystallography (DGK). Beck received the prize at the annual conference of the society, which this year was held together with the Polish Crystallographic Association (PCA) as a Polish-German conference in Wroclaw, Poland. The Max...

Understanding the structure of proteins is essential to obtain insight into their biological function. Due to their minute size and extreme fragility, these structures are enormously difficult to determine. Acquiring data of sufficient resolution requires immense doses of high energy X-ray radiation, which unfortunately...

An international team of scientists, with the participation of DESY, has succeeded in observing ultra-fast quantum interferences between electrons in atoms of a noble gas in real time. The team headed by Frank Stienkemeier and Lukas Bruder, from the Albert Ludwig University in Freiburg, was able to record electronic...
