FAU Bachelor students are invited to experience a quantum of the work undertaken by the @MPI_Light on May 2nd. We look forward to seeing you at the first MPL Open Day! #MPLopenday #research #erlangen #graduate school #imprs @UniFAU

New paper in Nature Biomedical Engineering: How to create an artificial pathologist A team from our new research center around @SoteriouDespina @marke_kub and @JochenGuck has created a new, fast and precise method to analyse cells in tissue samples. mpl.mpg.de/fileadmin/user…

@ChekhovaMaria has been chosen as Physicist of the Week by the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft (DPG). Congratulations Maria! Here you can find a link with more information on Marias research and the Physicist of the Week format by the DPG: dpg-physik.de/vereinigungen/…

A fascinating talk by @JochenGuck opens the Biophysics from Experiment to Computation session!

The @MPZ_PhysMed had its' official topping-out ceremony yesterday! Bavarian Economic Affairs Minister Hubert Aiwanger visited along with members of @MPI_Light, @UniFAU and Universitätsklinikum Erlangen. We look forward to the next steps in this great cooperation!

Today, Birgit Stiller, together with the directors of the @MPI_Light opened the 4th annual WOMBAT event. On the first day, Gustavo Wiederhecker, Warwick Bowen, Francesca Palumbo and Marc Serra-Garcia started the workshop with tutorials to bring everyone up to speed.

@VasilyZaburdaev starting off the first day of our group retreat with a fascinating and beautiful presentation on bacterial #biofilm formation @MPZ_PhysMed #GuckLabRetreat2022

It's barbecue season! Here at MPL, we don't need a grill or coal for that – we use sunlight. The lens that the team around Hanieh Fattahi used for the barbecue will later be used to supply a laser with energy. Photos: MPL #light #physics #optics #science #barbecue

MPL 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 in the rubric „The Author File“. @SandoghdarLab nature.com/articles/s4159…

#FAU is strengthening its expertise on #quantum #technology. Christoph Marquardt, currently with @MPI_Light, is now tenured #FAUprof. #FAUcongrats!👏 Christoph did and does exciting research. The main focus of his work is on continuous-variable quantum communication. @UniFAU

A new method for exploring the nano-world: A team from @MPI_Light and @MPZ_PhysMed led by Vahid Sandoghdar @SandoghdarLab has been published in Nature Methods with a new method called iNTA that offers a big leap in the characterization of nanoparticles. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Congrats to Stiller Research Group! Xinglin Zeng’s work on “Nonreciprocal light-driven vortex isolator” has been accepted as a postdeadline paper at CLEO2022 in San Jose, USA. More details on the arxiv: arxiv.org/abs/2203.03680.

We are excited to welcome Stefan Münster @MuensterStefan, who is establishing his @dfg_public Emmy-Noether-Group here in the @Franze_Lab at @UniFAU. Stefan will be investigating the #biophysics of tissues in developing embryos and to apply this knowledge to design 3D #organoids.

Check out our latest work with @masariklab, @jarogumulec, and others about how cancer associated fibroblasts can support tumor progression but don't necessarily need to. Thanks @MPI_Light and @MPZ_PhysMed for supporting this work.

What is the work of a scientist like? 14 participants of #GirlsDay2022 are here today to find out. The students are getting a grand tour of the building, with talks, experiments and tours through our labs. Our scientists and mechanics shed some light on what we do here at MPL.
