Prof. Malte Gather receives funding from the European Research Council (ERC) for his work on overcoming the fundamental dispersion limit of optical interference. The ERC Advanced Grant, which provides 2.5 million euros in funding over five years, is the most prestigious research prize of the European research landscape. “This is a huge success for my team,” Gather remarked. “It will allow us to pursue a truly novel approach in the years to come, hopefully applying concepts of quantum mechanics and nanophotonics to the life sciences in unprecedented ways.”
