Fritz Session: The Future of Our Climate

Climate change is the existential threat of our generation, demanding urgent and radical action. Publicly discussing what needs to be done is vital to implement lasting change. In this first Fritz Session, we therefore invite you to a talk by Prof. Johan Rockström, the new director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, discussing his agenda for managing the future of our climate.

Crossroads in Physical Chemistry Experiment Meets Theory

Symposium in honor of Prof. Hajo Freund and Prof. Joachim Sauer

Gerhard Ertl Lecture 2019: Opportunities for understanding crystal growth through in situ electron microscopy

Prof. Dr. Frances M. Ross received the Gerhard Ertl Lecture Award in 2019.

PhDate2020

This online event brings together all Ph.D. students affiliated with the Fritz-Haber-Institute (FHI) and its International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS), and the IMPRS alumni to share their recent work and findings, learn more about possible career paths within and outside academia, and above all to network and socialize.

Epics Collaboration Fall Meeting 2020

EPICS meetings provide a chance for developers and managers from the various different sites to come together and discuss their work in progress and make plans for the future. They give a chance to see what is being done at other laboratories, and to review the specifications for new tools or enhancements to existing ones in order to maximize their usefulness to the whole community and avoid duplication of effort.

Gerhard Ertl Lecture 2020: Oxide Surface Science. Chemistry at the Atomic Scale

Ultrafast Infrared Spectroscopy at the Nanoscale

  • Joint Online Seminar
  • Date: Sep 6, 2021
  • Time: 10:00 AM (Local Time Germany)
  • Speaker: Jun Nishida
  • Center for Mesoscopic Sciences, Institute for Molecular Science, Japan
  • Host: Fritz Haber Institute
Emerging functional materials exhibit “liquid-like” dynamics associated with their soft lattice structures, often with spatial heterogeneity at length scales ranging from tens to hundreds of nanometers. Yet, tools to characterize such dynamical disorder have not been established. While nonlinear infrared spectroscopy has elucidated dynamics of liquids and solutions over the past decades, the limited sensitivity and the fundamental diffraction limit have hampered its applications to material systems at the nanoscale.

Fritz Session: The Future of Articial Intelligence

Fritz Session: The Future of Articial Intelligence
  • Date: Sep 16, 2021
  • Time: 03:30 PM - 05:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
  • Speaker: Prof. Dr. Kate Crawford
  • Prof. Kate Crawford is a Research Professor of Communication and Science and Technology Studies at USC Annenberg, a Senior principal Researcher at Microsoft Research New York, and an Honorary professor at the University of Sydney. Her latest book is the "Atlas of Artificial Intelligence: Power, Politics, and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence".
  • Location: Online Seminar
  • Host: Fritz Haber Institute
Increasingly sophisticated machine learning systems are being developed and deployed around the world, enabling scientific breakthroughs and pervasive surveillance, creating new forms of artistic expression and screening jobseekers. As thes systems become embedded into our lives and shape our future, they also become entangled with existing socio-economic structures. Any understanding of what lies ahead must therefore include not only the technical, but also the political. [more]

Girls Day 2022

Ihr lernt verschiedene Berufe in einer Forschungseinrichtung kennen, die sich mit Grenzgebieten der Chemie und Physik befasst. Hauptforschungsgebiet am Institut sind Prozesse an Grenzflächen, z. B. zwischen Festkörpern oder Flüssigkeiten und Gasen. Euch stehen Physikerinnen, Chemikerinnen, Technikerinnen, Ingenieurinnen, Laborantinnen, Mechanikerinnen und Auszubildende im Elektroniklabor Rede und Antwort. Außerdem könnt ihr selbst etwas bauen, wissenschaftliche Experimente durchführen sowie die Arbeit an CNC-Maschinen beobachten. [more]

The Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS)

NIST/CHiMaD Seminar Series
At the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society, for data acquisition systems the experimental physics and industrial control system EPICS (http://epics-controls.org) has been used for many years. Since 2019 this development is also intensively supported by the MPG: https://epics.mpg.de. [more]
