Two physicists at the University of Konstanz are developing a method that could enable the stable exchange of information in quantum computers. In the leading role: photons that make quantum bits "fly".

Researchers at the University of Konstanz have successfully filmed the operations of extremely fast electronic circuitry in an electron microscope at a bandwidth of tens of terahertz.

What do you do when no one believes your scientific discovery? Physicist Alfred Leitenstorfer describes how a new approach met with great scepticism among the scientific community – and what he did to ultimately convince it.

Researchers at the University of Konstanz discover a new type of ultrafast magnetic switching by investigating fluctuations that normally tend to interfere with experiments as noise.

Eine Informationsveranstaltung für Studieninteressierte der MINT-Fächer, ein Festvortrag zu magnetischen Datenspeichern und die Verleihung der renommierten Auszeichnungen der Manfred Ulmer-Stiftung für Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft sind die Highlights des 40. Regionalen Wissenschaftsforums.

The Magnus effect causes the curved trajectory of spinning footballs or tennis balls, and it can even be used for the propulsion of ships. A team of physicists led by Clemens Bechinger have now documented, for the first time, the existence of the Magnus effect at the microscopic scale.

Whether you are familiar with the Magnus effect or not, you have certainly often made use of it, e.g. when kicking a curveball or putting spin on a tennis ball. The Flettner rotor even employs this principle to…

International research collaboration involving the University of the Konstanz has been able to increase the diffusion of magnetic whirls – the skyrmions – by a factor of ten
