Who hasn’t looked at the sky on a mild summer night and thought about the vastness of the universe? The trained eye can see the Andromeda galaxy as a distant spot. Thanks to the latest telescopes, we know that it consists of over a trillion stars. In the “nanocosm,” clusters of individual light sources, such as molecules, also appear as points.
Resolving these light sources spatially is the motivation behind the field of ultrafast nanoscopy, a goal pursued in the new Regensburg Center for Ultrafast…
