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”.

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...

Understanding the intricate properties of materials such as high-temperature superconductors and other strongly correlated systems has long been a challenge for scientists. Through innovative quantum simulation techniques utilizing ultra-cold atoms in specialized optical lattices providing orbital degrees of freedom, an...
