Physicists often explore the edges of what is possible—pushing theories to their limits to understand how they work. But what if some of those limits don't actually exist?

From climate research and quantum physics to manuscript and materials research: Hamburg was successful in the nationwide Excellence Strategy competition with no fewer than five clusters of excellence. Over the next seven years, they will receive approximately €266.4 million in federal funding. The Hamburg Senate will...

Over the course of two days, UC President and Vice-Chancellor Prof. Dr. Edward McCauley and his team discussed collaboration with President Prof. Dr. Hauke Heekeren and other UHH representatives, and visited Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld, among other locations.

Quantum Universe principal investigator, DESY lead scientist, CMS communications leader, and University of Hamburg professor invited into prestigious Dutch national academy based on her research and science communication work

Scientists from the Cluster of Excellence Quantum Universe, University of Hamburg, and DESY are working towards a new era of precision at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Their work focuses on understanding the fundamental laws that govern the universe at the smallest scales, where nature is described by quantum physics...

Last Friday, 170 students from Hamburg and the surrounding region took part in the international mathematics competition Náboj. The Hamburg round of the competition was once again held in the Geomatikum at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Hamburg.

Symmetries are transformations that leave a physical system invariant and are thus essential for its analysis. A certain class of quantum field theories—mathematically rich frameworks with broad physical applications—are no exception. Recently, surface diagrams in three-dimensional space have emerged as a powerful tool for...

Great success for the University and the city of Hamburg as a hub of scientific pursuit: The University of Hamburg will continue to carry the University of Excellence title for the next 7 years. As such, it remains one of only a few universities in Germany to receive this significant funding. The funds will be used to...

Researchers from the University of Hamburg, including Excellence Cluster Quantum Universe Key Researcher Dr. Jan-Torge Schindler, have discovered a so-called “Little Red Dot” in the early universe. This class of objects has only been known for a short time and could provide new insights into the formation and evolution of...
