Revealing Hidden Atomic Movements through Machine Learning
Researchers at the Fritz Haber Institute have developed the Automatic Process Explorer (APE), an approach that enhances our understanding of atomic and molecular processes. By dynamically refining simulations, APE has uncovered unexpected complexities in the oxidation of Palladium (Pd) surfaces, offering new insights into catalyst behavior.
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.
