- New insight from ultrafast terahertz Stark spectroscopy
The membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin is a proton pump, in which proton transport is initiated by the light-induced isomerization of the chromophore retinal. The molecular quantum states involved... - A new chapter for all-attosecond spectroscopy
A team of researchers from the Max Born Institute in Berlin has for the first time demonstrated attosecond-pump attosecond-probe spectroscopy (APAPS) at a repetition rate of 1 kilohertz. This becam...
- Intense light pulses in the mid-infrared for spectroscopic and technical applications
A new light source generates ultrashort infrared pulses at wavelengths around 12 µm with previously unattained peak intensity and stability. First experiments in vibrational spectroscopy on water d... - All-attosecond pump-probe spectroscopy
An international team of researchers from the Max Born Institute in Berlin, University College London and ELI-ALPS in Szeged, Hungary, has demonstrated attosecond-pump attosecond-probe spectroscopy... - An ultrafast X-ray glance into photoacid electronic structure
Photoacids are molecules that release a proton upon electronic excitation, thus enhancing the acidity of a liquid. Pioneering work by Theodor Förster has shown the direct relationship between the w...
- Distinguishing right- and left-handed chiral molecules via light
Light is the fastest way to distinguish right- and left-handed chiral molecules, which has important applications in chemistry and biology. However, ordinary light only weakly senses molecular hand... - Scientists film molecular rotation
Scientists have used precisely tuned pulses of laser light to film the ultrafast rotation of a molecule. The resulting "molecular movie" tracks one and a half revolutions of carbonyl sulphide (OCS)... - Looking at molecules from two sides with table-top femtosecond soft-X-rays
intense activities both at x-ray source development and implementation of new measurement methods is pursued by key research labs. Researchers at the MBI have now successfully combined a table-top ...
- Identifying the chirality of molecules with a new laser pulse method
Are you right handed or left handed? No, we aren't asking you, dear reader; we are asking your molecules. It goes without saying that, depending on which hand you use, your fingers will wrap either...
- First imaging of free nanoparticles in lab experiment
In a joint research project, scientists from the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy (MBI), the Technische Universität Berlin and the University of Rostock have man...
- Filming chemical reactions with a high speed x-ray camera
Chemistry happens all around us. A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms in and between molecules, the breaking of old and the formation of new bonds. The glue that binds atoms in molecules... - Research on clusters explosion dynamics now possible with intense extreme-ultraviolet pulses in a laboratory-scale environment
The investigation of cluster explosion dynamics under intense extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) pulses has so far been limited to large scale facilities likefree-electron lasers. In a recent publication it...
