Vom Mobilfunk bis zur trüben Glasscheibe: Oft stören lästige Reflexionen die ungehinderte Ausbreitung von Wellen. Eine verblüffende Lösung des…

An ultra short laser pulse (blue) creates free charge carriers, another pulse (red) accelerates them in opposite directions.

Halbleiterelektronik wird immer schneller – aber irgendwann erlaubt die Physik keine Steigerung mehr. Die kürzest mögliche Zeitskala…
