“Nuclear clocks could allow scientists to probe the fundamental forces of the universe in the future. LMU researchers have made a crucial advance in this area as part of an international collaboration. Atomic clocks measure time so precisely that they …
“A team led by LMU chemist Lena Daumann has demonstrated for the first time that bacteria can use certain radioactive elements to sustain their metabolism. As well as being a useful material in all kinds of key technologies, lanthanides are …
“The EU flagship project PASQuanS2 with 25 partners coordinated by Immanuel Bloch, Director at MPQ and Chair at LMU, is funded by the European Union. Quantum technologies are on the rise. One promising area is the simulation of quantum many-body …
“Stacked layers of ultrathin semiconductor materials feature phenomena that can be exploited for novel applications. A team led by LMU physicist Alexander Högele has studied effects that emerge by giving two layers a slight twist. Novel, ultrathin nanomaterials exhibit remarkable …
“Physicists at LMU play major role in new collaboration on digitalization in basic scientific research. LMU physicists Thomas Kuhr and Jochen Weller are collaborating with researchers from all over Germany in the KISS project. Funded by the German Federal Ministry …
“The existence of so-called super molecules has long been predicted theoretically. Now, a Munich team of researchers managed for the first time to create the conditions for proving these exotic entities. A team of researchers at the Max Planck Institute …
“A Munich team of researchers has for the first time monitored in an experiment how positive charge carriers in a solid-state model combined to form pairs. This process could play an important role in understanding high-temperature superconductivity. Using a quantum …
“Physicists at the Centre for Advanced Laser Applications at LMU Munich have combined two plasma-based methods of particle acceleration for electron beams. If one particle accelerator alone is not enough to achieve the desired result, why not combine two accelerators …
“Scientists at the LMU and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics have used ultrashort laser pulses to make the atoms of molecules vibrate and have gained a precise understanding of the dynamics of energy transfer that take place in …
“The Machine Vision & Learning Group led by computer scientist Björn Ommer has developed one of the most powerful image synthesis algorithms in existence. Creating images from text in seconds – and doing so with a conventional graphics card and without supercomputers …
