The Higgs particle gives mass to matter – and resulted in the Nobel Prize for physicists Peter Higgs and François Englert
The 27-kilometre ring tunnel of the Large Hadron Collider is similar to a gun in
Electronics could possibly operate with a beat of a few tens of attoseconds in the future. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching near Munich have controlled electrons which gushed from a metal tip a few nanometres across with an accuracy of 80 attoseconds. An attosecond is only a billionth part of a billionth of a second – in this time, light can only travel a distance roughly equivalent to the diameter of an atom.
such a way that the electrons are released by the so-called quantum mechanical tunnel
Processes taking place inside tiny electronic components or in molecules can now be filmed at a resolution of a few hundred attoseconds and down to the individual atom.
Electrons tunnel between the tip and the surface – that is, they cross the intervening
Mit dem „Licht-durch-die-Wand-Experiment“ ALPS II startet heute bei DESY das weltweit empfindlichste modellunabhängige Experiment für die Suche nach besonders leichten Teilchen, aus denen auch die Dunkle Materie aufgebaut sein könnte. Entscheidende Beiträge zum neuartigen Experiment kommen von Forschenden des Max-Planck-Instituts für Gravitationsphysik (Albert-Einstein-Institut, AEI) und des Instituts für Gravitationsphysik der Leibniz Universität Hannover.

The world’s most sensitive model-independent experiment to search for particularly light particles, of which dark matter might be composed, starts today at DESY in the form of the ‘light shining through a wall’ experiment ALPS II. Key contributions to the novel experiment come from researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute, AEI) and the Institute for Gravitational Physics at Leibniz Universität Hannover.

Researchers showed that tobacco hawkmoths lost attraction to the scent of their preferred flowers when that scent had been altered by ozone. This oxidizing pollutant thus disturbs the interaction between a plant and its pollinator, a relationship that has evolved over millions of years.
They tested the responses of the moths in behavioral assays in a wind tunnel, allowing
Unsere Forschung befasst sich mit der Physik optischer Mikrokavitäten wobei wir deren Interaktion mit Biomolekülen für hochsensitive Einzelmoleküldetektion ausnutzen.
diesem Fall mit uns, in Wechselwirkung treten – dann erscheint ein fast endloser Tunnel

The scientist from the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics is honoured for his contributions to attosecond physics
A better understanding of the tunnel effect can help improve its technical application
