Congratulations to Daisuke Takegami for his successful application for a DFG Walter Benjamin Fellowship. During his 24-month research stay at Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan with Prof. Mizokawa, which he will begin in September, he will work on “Systematic HAXPES study of transition metal/Pb/Bi-based energy materials”.
Rahel Ohlendorf and Aleksei Frolov are the proud winners of the Best Poster Award at ICM2024 Bologna! Both received this prestigious award for their outstanding work on strain tuning materials.
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...
Congratulations to Sushmita Chandra, Xialong Feng und Ning Mao, who have all been awarded Humboldt Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in the Topological Quantum Chemistry department!
Congratulations to Marisel Di Pietro Martínez and Luke Turnbull, who have both been awarded Humboldt Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in the Spin3D group!
Congratulations to Eteri Svanidze, who was awarded the 7th ERES Junior award from the European Rare Earth and Actinide Society (ERES) for “her talented contributions to the solid-state chemistry and physics of f-elements“. The award was presented at ICFE-11, which was held in Strasbourg (France) last August.
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 Sr…
