Chiral superconductivity and chirality control

New PhD position: we are looking for an enthusiastic student to explore the uncharted territory of chiral superconductors, and to control their chirality by ultrafast laser pulses, in collaboration with Prof. Stefan Kaiser at TU Dresden. Apply now: imprs-cpqm.mpg.de/227377/Chira...

(19 Jun) Today’s the big day β€” our STM has arrived! πŸ₯³
All 7 cratesπŸ“¦are now safely stored in the basement. Huge thanks to everyone involved, and a special shoutout to our technician Ole for making it all run so smoothly.
Unpacking will happen in a couple of weeks β€” stay tuned!
