We notice the effect of light when the sun warms us and makes the world more pleasant. But light is not only of great importance for humans and nature. Light-driven processes also play an important role in modern technology - for example in data processing or the use of light as an information carrier. Light is also an indispensable tool for microscopy and material production. It drives biological, chemical and physical processes. These make it possible, for example, to switch the structures and function of materials.
The new Research Training Group "PhInt - Photopolarisable Interfaces and Membranes" at the University of Jena will focus on the underlying interactions between light and new materials. ...
