The Max Planck Institute for Microstructure Physics in Halle (Saale) is a research institute in Germany in the field of materials science. It was founded in 1992 by Helmut Fischmeister and is a continuation of the Institute of Solid State Physics and Electron Microscopy of the German Academy of Sciences (data for September 2023).
2023: Scientists get future superconductors by placing atoms one at a time
On September 21, 2023, it became known that scientists from the University of Zurich, together with colleagues from the Max Planck Institute for Microstructural Physics, were able to create various types of superconductors by placing atoms one at a time. The study, published in the journal Nature Physics, points to a promising approach to overcoming the limitations of natural materials and paves the way for fundamentally different states of matter for the electronics and computing technologies of the future.
