Martin Beye is researching on catalysts working against the climate change

“In the past, we developed many new and powerful techniques with x-ray radiation. The time is ripe now to use them for something important”, says Martin Beye. Climate change is the most important topic to be addressed in the world for the coming decades. Martin commits to make his contribution working at Stockholm University, after his start at Fysikum in September 2023. “At Stockholm University, there is a unique environment, knowledge and infrastructure and wonderful colleagues – all that is required to actually make an impact."

Christmas Lecture - Michael Faraday's 198-year tradition

The Christmas Lectures are held annually at the Royal Institution in London to present scientific issues in an informative and entertaining way. They began as early as 1825 and one of the earliest and most frequent lecturers was Michael Faraday. In his spirit, we present experiments for all ages on the 7th December.

Nobel Prize in Physics 2023: Experiments with light capture the shortest of moments

Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz, and Anne L'Huillier have demonstrated a way to create extremely short flashes of light, which can be used to discern the rapid progression of electrons moving or changing their energy. Professor Eva Lindroth from Fysikum is a long-term and close collaborator of Anne L'Huillier.
