Quantum dots and their electronic properties are central research topics in the Cluster of Excellence "CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter". On 10 December 2023, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry will be awarded in Stockholm for the discovery and research of such structures.

One billionth of a billionth of a second - extremely short light pulses, which can be used to analyze the dynamics of electrons in matter, are central research topics in the Cluster of Excellence "CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter". On 10 December 2023, the Nobel Prize in Physics will be awarded in Stockholm for the...

Hydrogen is the hope for a climate-friendly future. Currently, it is mostly produced by electrolysis of water with electricity, but there are other strategies, such as photocatalysis. Researchers at Universität Hamburg, Freie Universität Berlin and Ludwig-Maximilian-Universität München report in the journal Nature Catalysis...

DNA damage drives cancer, ageing, and cell death. Therefore, DNA repair is crucial for all organisms, and a deeper understanding of this basic function helps us better comprehend how life around us survives and thrives. An international team of researchers led by Universität Hamburg and DESY reports in the journal "Science"...

A group of scientists from Universität Hamburg, led by Prof. Roland Wiesendanger, has succeeded for the first time in synthesizing a two-dimensional quantum material consisting of a single atomic trilayer of the chemical element tellurium in a hexagonal, honeycomb-lattice structure. In analogy to graphene – a single atomic...

What are the capabilities offered by attosecond extreme ultraviolet and X-ray pulses for probing photon-induced electron dynamics in molecules? A theoretical study on this question by Daria Gorelova’s team was chosen for the Focus Days “Research Highlights in the Eyes of Editors”.
