Universal behavior is a central property of phase transitions, which can be seen, for example, in magnets that are no longer magnetic above a certain temperature. A team of researchers from…

Kaiserslautern physicists led by Professor Dr. Herwig Ott have succeeded in directly observing trilobite molecules for the first time. These very large molecules get their name from their resemblance…

The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) is funding the Transregional Collaborative Research Center (CRC/TRR) "Spin+X - Spin in its Collective Environment" for a further four years with eleven…

Quantum physics deals with the laws of nature in the atomic and subatomic range. The knowledge gained from this has enabled the development of computer chips, nuclear magnetic resonance tomographs and…

New types of magnetic data storage are energy-efficient and robust. Ferromagnets with operating frequencies in the gigahertz range are used here.

Physics professor Dr. Burkard Hillebrands has been honoured with the Achievement Award by the Magnetism Society of the international engineering association IEEE (Institute for Electrical and…
