Controlling the functional properties of ferroelectrics by multidimensional defects Ferroelectric materials are widely used as capacitors, sensors, actuators or transducers, which enable a range of modern technologies in microrobotics, consumer electronics, autonomous vehicles, medicine, and other fields [1]. Their dielectric and electromechanical properties are ... more |

Collagen - the glue holding our bodies together Biological tissues with passive mechanical function in the human body are generally rich in collagen. Collagens provide both stiffness and toughness. Macroscopically, relationships between tissue-structure, composition and mechanical function have been explored, but comparatively ... more |

Coherent light-sound interactions in waveguide structures Despite their different nature, optical waves and acoustic vibrations can couple efficiently through the effects of electrostriction, photo-elastic effect and radiation pressure. These phenomena enable the creation and annihilation of sound waves and have a wide range of applicat ... more |

Field-resolved microscopy: true time-domain views of light-matter interaction When charged particles move, they inscribe a history of their motion into an electromagnetic field, which carries it away from the origin. Recording various aspects of this light has been one of our main ways of investigating the fundamentals of nature for centuries, but directly ... more |

Stellar Insights - Sounding the structure and evolution of stars like the Sun with Asteroseismology Asteroseismology is a powerful tool to study structure and dynamics of the stellar interior as well as their evolution. Such analysis can be done for thousands of stars in differing evolutionary stages from data of unprecedented photometric quality, provided by the NASA Kepler sp ... more |

Approximating functions, functionals and operators with neural networks for diverse applications We will review physics-informed neural network and summarize available extensions for applications in computational mechanics and beyond. We will also introduce new NNs that learn functionals and nonlinear operators from functions and corresponding responses for system identifica ... more |

Free-electron wavepackets interacting with light Recent advances in electron-beam science have pushed a new era for nanooptics, by merging laser and electron beam spectroscopies in a single apparatus. This new domain, the so-called photon-induced near-field electron microscopy [1], concerns quantum-mechanical electron-light int ... more |

What’s in a shadow? Past, Present and Future of Black Hole Imaging The inside of black holes is shielded from observations by an event horizon, a virtual one-way membrane through which matter, light and information can enter but never leave. This loss of information, however, contradicts some basic tenets of quantum physics. Does such an event h ... more |

Spotlight on (Chiral) Molecular Excitons in Squaraine Thin Films Here, the material system of choice to study structure-correlated excitonic properties are anilino squaraine dyes. Their donor-acceptor-donor type pi-conjugated backbone allows for intense interactions with visible light and carries the transition dipole moment. Terminal groups a ... more |
