Many of the fundamental laws and unexpected phenomena in condensed matter physics are caused by extremely fast dynamics of electrons and ions on the femtosecond time (1 fs = 10-15 s) and terahertz frequency scale (1 THz = 1012 Hz). Unravelling such ultrafast processes is the main interest of our research. We develop next-generation, high-intensity femtosecond laser sources and THz technology, and employ them to explore novel femtophysics.

 | Congratulations to Joshua Mornhinweg for being awarded the prestigious “Feodor Lynen Research Fellowship” from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation! The fellowship recognizes Joshua’s outstanding scientific work on deep-strong light-matter coupling and will allow Joshua to join the group of Prof. Federico Capasso at Harvard University to work on novel “polaritonic and superconducting reconfigurable THz metasurfaces”. |

The new Graduate Research Training Group 2905 - "Ultrafast nanoscopy - from single particle dynamics to cooperative processes" - will be funded for five years.
The program will start April 2024 and allows graduate researchers to unveil the internal dynamics of the elementary building blocks of matter. Novel concepts of nanovideography will be pioneered to resolve atomic-scale dynamics and to trace ensuing cooperative processes in systems of increasing complexity directly in ultraslow-motion pictures. The discoveries could find applications in future nano- and optoelectronics, quantum technologies and green technologies.
