Zero electrical resistance at room temperature? A material with this property, i.e. a room temperature superconductor, could revolutionize power distribution. But so far, the origin of superconductivity at high temperature is only incompletely understood. Scientists from Universität Hamburg and the Cluster of Excellence...

What about the Summer Semester 2020? What are the rules for working from home? And what guidelines must international guests observe? The following pages answer the most important question about the coronavirus. These FAQs are updated continually. [Last update: 2 July 2020, 10:26 AM]

In recent years two-dimensional quantum materials have provided a platform for the realization of novel correlated and topological phases of matter. In a paper just published in Nature Materials, an international research team involving scientists from Germany, the United States, China and Japan report that the twisted...

Magnetic materials have been a mainstay in computing technology due to their ability to permanently store information in their magnetic state. Current technologies are based on ferromagnets, whose states can be flipped readily by magnetic fields. Faster, denser, and more robust next-generation devices would be made possible...

Semiconductors play an important role in electronics, optoelectronics or photovoltaics. But like other solids they are quantum many-particle systems. Therefore, calculating their properties with computers is very challenging and sometimes impossible. However, this task could be performed by a quantum system with comparable...

On June 12, 2020, the new building "Haus der Lehre - Light & Schools" was handed over to the Department of Physics and the Cluster of Excellence "CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter".
