Lightbulb moments: How two young physicists are working for tomorrow

They shed light on unresolved questions – and use it in their work in physics. Diana Shakirova is using light to distinguish different chiral molecules, which can have both healing and toxic effects. Christoph Stockinger, on the other hand, uses light to develop high-precision sensors. But it is not only light that connects the two physicists. The doctoral students took part in the NanoGraz Careers & Ideas Days to prepare themselves in good time for the next steps in their careers as young scientists.
