State-of-the-art scanning-probe microscopes already enable scientists to resolve individual atoms on solid-state surfaces. The new method also allows measuring the electronegativity of these atoms. Such new findings could allow control of chemical reactions in catalysis or biochemistry.
In just three years, HAPLS went from concept to a fully integrated and record-breaking product. HAPLS represents a new generation of application-enabling diode-pumped, high-energy and high-peak-power laser systems with innovative technologies.
The method of analysis is so accurate that it can be used to detect the positions of even the lightest of all atoms – the hydrogens.
This result is a vital milestone that moves the performance of high peak power lasers beyond the limits of conventional flashlamp pumping, opening up important new applications in materials processing, advanced imaging and fundamental science.
A laboratory creates a basic infrastructure for interdisciplinary biophysical workplace allowing to do comprehensive research in physics, chemistry, biology and medicine fields.
The new Centre of Excellence HiLASE located in Dolní Břežany incorporates advanced solid-state laser systems that are ideally suited to hi-tech industrial applications.
Chirality plays a key role in nature and can be demonstrated for example on the relationship of right and left hand, which are not identical in terms of symmetry. Scientists can now observe a chemical transformation of individual molecules on the silver surface and demonstrated chirality transfer during the reaction.
For the first time, scientists noted the success in proving that, at low temperatures, the localizes water molecules tend to align, exhibiting so-called incipient ferroelectricity.
How and why the localized deformation happens has always attracted the attention of mechanical engineers as well as theoreticians involved in modelling of material deformation.
