Congratulations! On November 14, 2022, Luis Morales successfully defended his doctoral thesis on „Planar dielectric antennas for applications in bio-physics“.

Cryogenic optical localization in three dimensions (COLD) has been shown to be a viable option for deciphering protein complexes at Angstrom-level. However, previous work was severely limited in the number of resolved fluorophores. A new approach, titled ‘polarCOLD’ has now pushed the boundaries for…

Director Vahid Sandoghdar is a physicist who explores biology’s unknowns, with greater precision by linking two methods. He has been covered in this month’s issue of the scientific journal Nature Methods under the rubric „The Author File“. He talks about the research he and his team just published…

Congratulations! On May 12, 2022, Johannes Zirkelbach successfully defended his doctoral thesis on „High-resolution spectroscopy of vibronic transitions in single molecules“.

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) and Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin (MPZPM) in Erlangen present a significant step forward in the characterization of nanoparticles. They used a special microscopy method based on interferometry to outperform existing…

Congratulations! On March 8, 2022, Katharina König successfully defended her doctoral thesis on "Interferometric Scattering Microscopy at Solid-Liquid Interfaces - Investigation of Nanoparticle-Surface Binding and Illumination-Induced Polymer Desorption".
