In these two days I am visiting the Max-Planck institute of physical chemistry in Berlin. My host is Professor Mikhailov. We are discussing the collaboration of research on the molecular machine.
This institute is actually the earliest one of all Max-Planck Society. When Einstein firstly accepted the invitation by Planck, he actually lived here for quite a while. Also the former director of the physical chemistry department, Professor Gerhard Ertl won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry last year. The institute are sitting in the trees, meadows and various flowers. I mistake it as a park at the first sight. Later on I gradually realize that the whole institute actually scattered around and totally submerged into the endless green around.
