Warm congratulations to Dr Haijing Zhang, who has been appointed to a professorship at Southeast University in Nanjing, China. more

We warmly congratulate Francisco Lieberich on winning a poster award at this year's conference “Current Trends in Strongly Correlated and Frustrated Systems” (SCF25). more

At the beginning of the 2025/26 winter semester, two of our scientists won important scientific promotions. Coincidentally, both are named Elena: Elena Hassinger and Elena Gati. We congratulate both of them on their appointments to full W3 professorships. more

Congratulations to Hilary Noad, who has received the Wilhelm Heraeus Junior Visiting Professorship for Physics 2025, awarded by the President of Goethe University Frankfurt am Main and the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation. more

An international team led by researchers at MPI-CPfS used irradiation with extremely high-energy electrons to controllably introduce atomic defects in superconducting nickelate thin films. Their systematic investigation recently published in Physical Review Letters helps to narrow down the possible answers to fundamental questions of how superconductivity emerges in these materials. more

An international team led by researchers at MPI-CPfS has used targeted anisotropic strain to tune frustrated quantum materials. This allowed precise control of geometric frustration in a Mott insulator and enabled access to previously unexplored regions of the phase diagram.
