Yearbook 2003
> Dynamic of Cytoskeleton
Authors: Jülicher, Frank; Kruse, Karsten
The cytoskeleton is an essential part of animal and plant cells. It consists of filamentous polymers, that form a complex network and that interact via a large number of different proteins. The cytoskeleton enables cells to ... [more - german only]
Yearbook 2004
> Propagation of Laser Pulses
Author: Becker, Andreas
Ultrashort intense laser pulses can propagate in air or other materials over large distances in so-called laser filaments. The filaments are mainly formed due to a balance of two nonlinear effects, the self-focusing of the pulse due to the optical ... [more - german only]
Yearbook 2005
> Microscopic Topology and Macroscopic Elasticity of Polymers
Author: Everaers, Ralf
The viscoselastic properties of high molecular weight polymeric liquids are dominated by topological constraints on a molecular scale. Similar to entangled ropes, polymer chains can slide past but not through each other. Tube models of polymer ... [more - german only]
Yearbook 2006
> Ultracold plasmas and Rydberg gases
Authors: Pattard, Thomas; Pohl, Thomas; Ates, Cenap; Rost, Jan-Michael
Ultracold plasmas and Rydberg gases give rise to a number of interesting questions based on the unusual properties of these systems. Extremely low temperatures on the one hand, and high electronic ... [more - german only]
Yearbook 2007
> Many-body effects in mesoscopic systems
Author: Hentschel, Martina
Small systems with sizes on the micrometer scale behave differently from their bulk metal counterparts. This can be investigated by comparing the signatures of many-body effects. Indeed, electrons in those mesoscopic systems such as ... [more - german only]
Yearbook 2008
> Transcriptional pausing of RNA polymerase II
Author: Grill, Stephan
To make the proteins in all of our cells, the genetic information that is stored in DNA is first copied to mRNA and then translated to the polypeptide chain. RNA polymerase II is responsible fort the first step, and it proceeds in a discontinuous ... [more - german only]
Yearbook 2009
> Self-compression of high-intense laser pulses
Author: Skupin, Stefan
The generation of shorter and shorter laser pulses is a great technological challenge. When trying to accomplish this task we have an important ally: the pulse itself. In so called Femtosecond Filaments self-compression of ultrashort light pulses is ... [more - german only]
