The Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids hosted the 14th School on the Physics and Chemistry of the Actinides and the 52nd Journées des Actinides international conference on April 17 – 21 April 2023. more

Dr. Guowei Li, the former group leader in the Department of Topological Quantum Chemistry at the Max Planck Institute of Chemical Physics of Solids, is awarded a leadership position of a Max Planck Partner Group. more

Experiments show that the heavy fermion compound YbRh₂Si₂ undergoes a spectacular electro-nuclear phase transition into a modulated magnetic state at a temperature as low as 1.5 mK. In a just published paper, an international team of scientists from the UK (Royal Holloway University of London) and Germany (Goethe University Frankfurt, MPI-CPfS Dresden) demonstrated that in YbRh₂Si₂, at T_A = 1.5 mK, the tiny nuclear moments profoundly change an electronic magnetic state formed at a much higher temperature  T_N = 70.5 mK.   more

Uri Vool was awarded a starting grant from the European Research Council (ERC). He is an independent group leader at the MPI-CPfS, and will use the grant to explore novel superconductors by integrating them into hybrid quantum circuits. more

IMPRS-CPQM student Chia-Chi Yu won a poster Prize at the 21st GDCh Conference on Inorganic Chemistry, Solid-State Chemistry, and Materials Research in  Marburg (September 27-28, 2022). more

Maia G. Vergniory, a researcher in our department of Solid State Chemistry, has recently been elected as APS Fellow by the American Physical Society (APS) for her pioneering work developing a new theory known as Topological Quantum Chemistry that has allowed to identify thousands of new topological materials. more

A team of researchers from MPI for Chemical Physics of Solids and the MPI for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter in collaboration with researchers from Switzerland and Spain has reported the first observation in a structurally achiral crystal, the Kagome superconductor CsV₃Sb₅. Their work has been published in the current issue of Nature. more

We offer our warm congratulations to our Max Planck Fellow Professor J.C. Séamus Davis of the University of Oxford and University College Cork, who has been awarded the prestigious 2023 Oliver E. Buckley Prize of the American Physical Society. more

Dr. Eteri Svanidze was honored with this year's award within the L'Oréal-UNESCO funding program "For Women in Science". We warmly congratulate Dr. Svanidze on this award. more

Our former PhD student Qun Yang has been awarded the “2021 Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-financed Students Abroad” by the China Scholarship Council. more

A team of scientists from the MPI CPFS and Stockholm, Tsukuba, Oxford, Toronto, St Andrews and Birmingham combined focused ion beam microstructuring and uniaxial pressure to achieve a record value of uniaxial pressure for the unconventional superconductor Sr₂RuO₄ and found that the superconducting state of Sr₂RuO₄ evolved surprisingly. more
