Graphene is gapped at the smallest scales
  What happens to a molecule when you throw it at a surface? An international collaboration between scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, and the University of Oxford have shown that the outcome depends on how fast the molecule approaches the surface. Slow-approaching molecules experience geometrical changes, useful in revealing the three-dimensional structures of biomolecules; while fast-approaching molecules experience selective chemical reactions, giving products that cannot be obtained by conventional thermal chemistry.  
  Our team at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble, France, applied a new approach to the investigation of charge density waves (CDW) in high-Tc superconducting cuprates. We combined uniaxial strain with resonant x-ray scattering (RXS) to explore a segment of the phase space of correlated electrons in the cuprates that had previously been inaccessible. Our findings clarify the nature of the CDW while demonstrating that the combination of uniaxial strain and RXS can become a powerful tool to shine light onto the complex interplay of electronic correlations in quantum materials.  
  An international research team with scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, together with collaborators from FELIX Laboratory and Radboud University in Nijmegen, the University of Bialystok, and Delft University of Technology, has demonstrated that shaking atoms in a crystal for a short time can lead to a permanent switching of magnetization. Ultrafast modification of the crystal field environment has the potential to become the most universal way to manipulate magnetization. It could be the starting point for innovative IT concepts such as ultrafast opto-spintronic devices.
