Our new paper is out! We demonstrate an approach to track in real time the dynamics of a normally invisible excited state in an atomically thin material.
In single-layer WS2, electrons and holes bind into excitons. Some exciton states are “bright” and emit light, while others are “dark” and usual...
At this years Long Night of the Sciences (Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften) we presented our work to the general public. Hannah, Isabella, Alexander, and Eric showed and explained not only how LEED and STM produce scientific data but also presented real instruments. Video animations, 3D models and pos...
The so-called 'Perovskite solar cells' have achieved remarkable efficiency improvements over the past twenty years, reaching up to 25%. This progress is largely attributed to the discovery and optimization of functional layers that interface the perovskite light absorber with the external environmen...
It may sound counterintuitive, but sometimes noise can actually improve a measurement. In the quantum world, the chaotic nature of noise is not just a disturbance, but it carries valuable statistical information about a system’s behavior. Our team has developed a technique that harnesses the intrins...
On 9-10th January, a new Marie Skłodowska-Curie doctoral network has kicked off: SPARKLE is a cutting-edge European research initiative with the aim of exploring polaritonics and light-matter hybrid systems.
The project – funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation progr...
