IEP visited the talk by Nobel laureate Anne l’Huillier @ÖAW in Vienna.

“Attosecond Pulses for studying ultrafast electron dynamics” Impressive talk! And thanks for taking the picture with us.

Kolloquium zu den Nobelpreisen an der Montanuniversität in Leoben: Vortrag an der MUL „Attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter“ zur Würdigung des diesjährigen Physiknobelpreises an Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz und Anne l'Huillier

Reportage in der Kleinen Zeitung:

Am Institut für Experimentalphysik an der Technischen Universität Graz schieben junge Forscher mit komplexen versuchen die Ränder unseres Wissens weiter hinaus.

TU Graz hosted the Roadshow of the Young Academy of the Austrian Academy of Sciences on June 13, 2023.

The IEP was there with two contributions.

^{Das Institut für Experimentalphysik der TU Graz revolutioniert in Zusammenarbeit mit der Gruppe um F. Capasso / Harvard die Handhabung von extrem ultravioletter Strahlung um die Solarzellen und Prozessoren der Zukunft zu erforschen.}

^{Extreme Ultraviolet Metalens by Vacuum Guiding

How to make 2D materials with tailored holes: Scientists discover new open network structures in a combined helium scattering and DFT study, during on-surface synthesis of hexagonal boron nitride.

Nanoscale Horizons

With the Austrian Science Fund’s (FWF) science prize endowed with 1.2 million euros, Marcus Ossiander is designing new nano-optics with the aim of building a microscope that can measure ultra-short chemical reactions with extreme precision.

Together with colleagues from MPQ/ Garching & TU Vienna we have explored how fast (opto-)electronic information technology can possibly get. Good news, there is still a few orders of magnitude processing speed we can make use of in the future.
