ZALKAL Opening Colloquium on 10.12.24

Together with Delmic and ThermoFisherScientific, we will open the newly established application laboratory for time-resolved cathodoluminescence spectroscopy (ZALKAL) with a colloquium. We cordially invite you to the Paul Drude Institute for Solid State Electronics (Hausvogteiplatz 5-7) on 10.12.2024 from 13-18h. In addition to an introduction to the new laboratory and the opportunity for laboratory tours, we are particularly looking forward to scientific lectures by Dr. Gwénolé Jacopin (Institut Néel, Grenoble) and Dr. Gunnar Kusch (University of Cambridge), as well as a historical perspective on the methodology of Prof. Jürgen Christen (Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg).

SciencePunk: Attoseconds at Nanometers

ZALKAL PostDoc Dr. Kagiso Loeto participated with a short film in PDI’s contribution to this year’s Berlin Science Week from November 3-11. Under the label SciencePunk, ideas were presented that challenge the boundaries of scientific conventions and possibilities. While ZALKAL will provide picosecond electron pulses at a spatial resolution of a few nanometers, his contribution with the title Attoseconds at Nanometers raises the question what would become possible if we could reach attosecond timescales as achieved in ultrafast pulsed lasers.

Participation in the Maus-Türöffner Tag

For the 3rd time now, the analytical scanning electron microscopy laboratory at PDI took part in the “Maus-Türöffner Tag” of the German TV show “Sendung mit der Maus” on October 3. This year’s motto “ZusammeTun” (join forces) fits perfectly with the work at our institute, as our research is always based on collaboration with colleagues. This also applies to the production of the “smallest mouse”, hich we presented to the children, for which the PDI cleanroom team engraved the mouse logo into the structure of a light-emitting diode. A total of 40 registered children aged between 5 and 13 and around 30 accompanying adults were able to get to know the activities of the laboratory - explained in an age-appropriate way, of course.

Participation in the Maus-Türöffner Tag

On October 3, the team from the analytical scanning electron microscopy laboratory at the PDI took part in the Maus-Türöffner Tag of the TV program “Sendung mit der Maus”. Among other things, the children could explore the “smallest mouse”, for which the PDI cleanroom team engraved the Maus-Logo into the structure of a light-emitting diode. A total of 40 registered children between the ages of 5 and 13 plus around 30 accompanying adults were able to discover the activities of the laboratory in an age-appropriate way.
