Light and sound waves reveal negative pressure
Negative pressure is a rare and challenging-to-detect phenomenon in physics. Using liquid-filled optical fibers and sound waves, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) in Erlangen have now discovered a new method to measure it. In collaboration with the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technologies in Jena (IPHT), the scientists in […]

An anniversary symposium – Chair of Applied Physics at FAU turns 75
The Chair of Applied Physics is celebrating its 75th anniversary. What has changed most in this period, in your opinion? Prof. Dr. Heiko B. Weber: Everything! At that time, solid state physics was just starting out as a new discipline, today it is the largest branch of physics altogether. Semi-conductor physics in particular, the area […]

No one and nothing can stop physicist Flore Kunst: A Max Planck researcher in the fast lane
High praise for Flore Kunst. The physicist and researcher at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light has been awarded a coveted spot in the Max Planck Society’s Lise Meitner Excellence Program 2.0 alongside two other female scientists and is now setting up her own independent research group. At the same time, Flore […]

New Distinguished Professorship of Applied Quantum Technologies
A portrait of Prof. Roland Nagy “Anyone who might have dared to suggest controlling a single photon, let alone an electron, 20 years ago would have been considered to have lost touch with reality,” states quantum engineer Professor Roland Nagy. Today, researchers like him and his team at FAU are even able to use the […]

One step closer to highly secure quantum communication
The communication of the future is to become more secure with the help of light particles. This is the goal of the QuNET initiative by the BMBF. Researchers from Jena, Berlin, Erlangen-Nuremberg and Wessling have successfully distributed quantum keys between two points using a combination of free-space and fiber links under everyday conditions. On a […]
