Bayreuth physicist new member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities
Prof. Dr. Anna Köhler, Chair of Soft Matter Optoelectronics at the University of Bayreuth, has been elected as a new full member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BAdW). The Bayreuth experimental physicist is only the fourth researcher to be admitted to this 58-member BAdW section. ...more
Computer simulations make turbulent mixing more predictable
Turbulent mixing occurs more often in everyday life than we perhaps realize: when milk is stirred into coffee, when gasoline is distributed in a car engine’s cylinder, or when dust particles are whirled up into the atmosphere. A research team led by Prof. Dr. Michael Wilczek at the University of Bayreuth and the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen has now used computer simulations to show that these processes are less unpredictable than they seem. ...more
Atomic Terahertz-vibrations solve the enigma of ultrashort soliton molecules
Stable packets of light waves – called optical solitons – are emitted in ultrashort-pulse lasers as a chain of light flashes. These solitons often combine into pairs with very short temporal separation. Introducing atomic vibrations in the terahertz range, researchers at the Universities of Bayreuth and Wrocław have now solved the puzzle of how these temporal links are formed. ...more
