„Mesospheric magnetometry and optimization of laser guide stars“ - Brighter stars for a brighter future of astrophysics

The „Advanced Demonstrator“ is the first cryogenic accelerator module of the future cw linac HELIAC (HElmholtz LInear ACcelerator).

The first hidden-charm tetraquark state with non-zero strangeness

New calculations favor a smaller value for the size of the proton, helping to resolve the proton radius puzzle

It is a central part of the future accelerator center FAIR, currently being built in international collaboration at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum in Darmstadt, and at the same time the heart of one of the largest construction projects for research worldwide: the large underground FAIR ring accelerator SIS100 on the northern FAIR construction site with a…

Magnetometry exploiting color center defects in diamond probes and magneto-optic imaging found to complement each other / Progress towards the creation of more effective data storage systems

We mourn Maximilian Rapps (1986 - 2021)

who passed away unexpectedly last week.
He designed, built, and commissioned a spin coater for the fabrication of thin films for nuclear chemical applications in the SHE-section of our Helmholtz-Institute as part of his master's thesis and fabricated and characterized first samples.
Max's cheerful nature,…
