Congratulations to Ivanna Arseniuk, who has been awarded a DAAD Research Fellowship! more

Congratulations to Rikako Yamamoto, who has been awarded an Overseas Research Fellowships by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) in the Spin3D group! more

The application of a weak magnetic field can significantly improve the cooling performance of topological materials at low temperatures. This breakthrough has been published in Nature Materials by an international team of researchers from the MPI CPfS, Chongqing University and the Max Planck Institute for Microstructure Physics.

The macroscopic properties of a material are determined by its composition and microstructure. Researchers have developed a new technique to map three-dimensional nanoscale orientation fields across the volume of materials, opening the possibility to understand the evolution of nanoscale variations in microstructure and ferroic order within a wide variety of materials. more

Dresden's Super Run - fun, excitement and a bit of suffering. This is how one of the local newspapers headlined its report on the Rewe Team Challenge Dresden 2024. And this is probably exactly how the runners from the MPI CPfS felt about this 5 km race - although the good mood clearly prevailed... more
