- A frustrated material, and a frustrating synthesisIn condensed matter physics, "frustration" is a technical term: it describes a lattice geometry where competing magnetic interactions cannot all be satisfied simultaneously. This summer at HZB, I have been trying to *make* a frustrated material, and in the process I discovered that the word also describes rather accurately what happens when your sample explodes for the third time in a week.
- A Rainbow on the Way HomeWhen I arrived at HZB for the International Summer Student Programme, I expected to learn about chemistry, new instruments, and research techniques. During the welcome event, each of us received a small gift bag. Inside was a sticker that read, "Science is Diverse."
- When an unexpected result opens a new research directionEvery morning, as I step out of my room and feel the gentle Berlin sunshine on my face, I tell myself, “Today is a brand-new day.” Yet I never imagined that my research journey in Berlin, after joining HZB, would begin with an experimental result that did not go as expected.
