Three-dimensional nanostructures with a large diversity of shapes that could serve as nanocomponents for nanomotors and nanomachines can be produced in parallel precisely and in large numbers with the help of vapour deposition and micellar nanolithography. The production method developed by a team headed by P. Fischer at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems is a major step forward in nanotechnology.

Designing new materials that meet technological needs is time consuming and costly, facing a huge amount of possible element combinations. An international research team developed a machine learning framework that identifies the best material compositions for targeted properties. The method was successfully applied to Invar alloys with improved thermal expansion properties.
“Predicting Invar alloys is a very challenging problem computationally.

Electronics could possibly operate with a beat of a few tens of attoseconds in the future. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching near Munich have controlled electrons which gushed from a metal tip a few nanometres across with an accuracy of 80 attoseconds. An attosecond is only a billionth part of a billionth of a second – in this time, light can only travel a distance roughly equivalent to the diameter of an atom.

The spacing of atoms in crystal lattices of nanomaterials initially contracts as the grain size falls, but expands again below a critical value, as a team of researchers headed by Eric Mittemeijer from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems has established. Accordingly, surface stress and excess volume compete in nanopowders as the ratio of surface to volume increases in the individual nanoparticles, so that the crystals become distorted.
With various very finely powdered nanograined metals they determined that the metal
The role of soil has been largely neglected in climate models to date, but this is set to change. Scientists working with Markus Reichstein at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena are studying the climate-relevant processes that take place below ground and are developing models to describe them.
