The German Research Foundation is funding a new Emmy Noether Independent Junior Research Group at the University of Hamburg. Led by Dr. Max Wiesner, the project is investigating how fundamental phenomena of the universe—such as dark energy—can be better described on the basis of new insights into theories of quantum...

The Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space is providing 3 million euros in funding for a research project on AI-supported analysis of large amounts of data in astrophysics and particle physics. SciFM is coordinated by Prof. Dr. Luisa Lucie-Smith, principal investigator at the Cluster of Excellence “Quantum...

The research group “Relativistic Jets in Active Galaxies” (FOR 5195), which also includes researchers from the Department of Physics at the University of Hamburg, has been investigating the powerful plasma beams emitted by supermassive black holes since 2021. Now the DFG has extended its funding.

The ENGRAVE collaboration has been awarded the new ‘Into Change Award’, which comes with a prize money of 1 million euros. The collaboration has made it possible to trace the origins of the Universe’s heaviest elements, which are forged in the aftermath of neutron star mergers.

The German Physical Society (DPG) has honored Prof. Dr. Andrea Cavalleri with the Stern-Gerlach Medal for outstanding achievements in experimental physics. Cavalleri is founding director of the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) and principal investigator at the Cluster of Excellence “CUI...

A team of scientists from the Cluster of Excellence “CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter” at the University of Hamburg and from DESY has been awarded a prestigious Synergy Grant from the European Research Council, receiving €14 million to combine atomic-scale imaging with the Nobel Prize-winning field of attosecond science, the...
