Conduction electrons drive giant, nonlinear elastic response in Sr<sub>2</sub>RuO<sub>4</sub>

The hardness of a material normally is set by the strength of chemical bonds between electrons of neighbouring atoms, not by freely flowing conduction electrons. Now a team of scientists from MPI-CPfS, Germany, Japan, Korea and the United States has shown that current-carrying electrons can make the lattice much softer than usual in the material Sr2RuO4. more

Team Planckton back

An impressive picture of the 30th Dragon Boat Festival on the banks of the Elbe in Loschwitz and the competitions on the water was presented to the spectators, who strolled across the "Blue Wonder" and in some cases stopped to watch the 62 teams racing.  One of them was Team “Planckton”, which consisted of 19 members of the different working groups of the MPI-CPfS (picture of the water flea with shirt). It competed there with 4 other teams from the field of universities and research in the "Technology Cup". more
