Planning a space telescope mission like Euclid allows for only one launch attempt. Researchers and engineering teams from the Max Planck Society have had to overcome major challenges to make the technology work in space. They have developed optical components and parts of the instruments on board, a…

Scientists led by Nobel Laureate Stefan Hell at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg have developed a super-resolution microscope with a spatio-temporal precision of one nanometer per millisecond. An improved version of their recently introduced MINFLUX super-resolution micros…

Scientists from the Micro, Nano and Molecular Systems Lab at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research and the Institute for Molecular Systems Engineering and Advanced Materials at Heidelberg University have created a new technology to assemble matter in 3D. Their concept uses multiple acoustic…
