Quantum optics has been very fruitful and led to many seminal achievements in fostering quantum technologies in a variety of fields including imaging and spectroscopy [1]. However, the focus of quantum optics is on the optical range of the electromagnetic spectrum. The extension of concepts of quantum optics into the x-ray range can lead to remarkable applications with enhanced performances...
In the organic solid state, high pressure to 10 GPa leads to compression of intermolecular interactions and phase transitions. Pressure is therefore a very useful means for studying polymorphism in molecular solids. We have investigated hydrogen-bonded materials (e.g. amino acids) as well as very simple compounds (e.g. pyridine), and the talk will show how experimental structures of...
For decades Moore's law has been the driving force of semiconductor technology and miniaturization has resulted in microprocessors with billions of transistors thus enabling today's information technology. The past 20 years exemplified this trend, with nanotechnology research spearheading the extension of Moore’s Law past prophesies of its demise. Heroic engineering and scaling efforts have...
Macromolecular Crystallography with X-rays (MX) had its beginnings in the 50’s and 60’s of the last century. Since then, the method has become ever more powerful by enormous technological progress in the production of samples, growth of crystals, production of X-rays, instrumentation for data collection, computer programs, and data bases. MX has produced the major fraction of the...
