Many working groups at the Institute of Physics took part in Future Day 2024

The school laboratory physiXS of the Physics Didactics and Science Communication working group has been awarded first place in the Diversity Prize category by the LernortLabor association for its phymobil_OL format. The prize, sponsored by the BMBF, is endowed with 5,000 euros. LernortLabor e. V. is the organisation representing the interests of German-speaking school laboratories with around 400…

Oldenburg energy meteorology research in focus. Bild der Wissenschaft reports on the WindRamp joint project, which was successfully completed a few months ago under the leadership of Oldenburg Wind Physics.

Jens-Christian Drawer, PhD student at the Institute of Physics, has won the Quantum Futur Award from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research for his outstanding Master's thesis.

The Quantum Materials group has published an article in the journal Physical Review Letters (131, 206901 (2023)).

When an electron moves in a molecule or a semiconductor, this happens in unimaginably short periods of time. A Swedish-German team led by physicist Dr Jan Vogelsang from the University of Oldenburg has now made significant progress towards a better understanding of such processes: The researchers tracked the movement of electrons that were released from crystals of the compound zinc oxide by a…

Tobias Hoffmann, a student at the Institute of Physics, won second place with his bachelor's thesis in the sponsorship award of the Centre for Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM) at the University of Bremen

Jutta Kunz-Drolshagen was thanked for her many years of service at the IfP Christmas party and given a festive farewell by the IfP staff.

jDPG and FSR Physics present a Christmas physics show on 7 December 2023

The power output of wind turbines can go up or down by 50 percent within seconds. Such fluctuations in the megawatt range put a strain on both power grids and the turbines themselves. A new study by researchers from the University of Oldenburg and the Sharif University of Technology in Tehran presents a method that could help to prevent these power swings.

The Oldenburg Quantum Materials research group has taken an exciting step towards accessible single-photon sources by creating a bright source of single photons revealing signs of quantum coherence.

Oldenburg physicists part of research indicating a radically novel pathway to analyze „entanglement“ in quantum bit systems via machine learning.
