Unveiling Neutral Sulfur Formation in SF6 Under X-Ray Exposure
An international collaboration, including researchers from the Molecular Physics Department of the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society, reveals the formation of neutral sulfur atoms during the decay of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) under high-energy X-ray exposure. This study, utilizing advanced synchrotron-radiation techniques, provides new insights into the complex interactions of X-rays with matter, essential for scientific and technological advancements.
Mirror, mirror trap the light: Measuring invisible light waves via electro-optic cavities
Researchers have developed a novel method to trace light fields directly inside cavities, providing in-situ measurement where future field-resolved studies of light-matter interactions will happen.
Not humans or robots, but humans and robots. A perspective for AI-driven self-controlled laboratories of the future
The urgent need for a transition to sustainable energy sources demands a significant acceleration of traditional research and development cycles. Self-driving labs (SDLs), powered by artificial intelligence (AI), could play a pivotal role in this transformation. In a perspective paper in the renowned journal Nature Catalysis, researchers from the Theory Department at the Fritz Haber Institute discuss the role played by humans in future such self-driving labs for catalysis research.
