South of the Maier-Leibnitz Laboratory a hall in wood construction is currently being built. From next year on, it will house the mock-up for the cooling systems of the ultracold neutron source at the FRM II. [read more]

You are interested in visiting the FRM II, but too young or too far away? No problem: An interactive tour gives you insights into the neutron source - without any restriction on admission. [read more]

10.10.2014 Recently the Solid State Spectroscopy group in Max-Planck Institute (Stuttgart, led by Prof. Bernhard Keimer) published in Physical Review Letters their results of inelastic neutron scattering on stoichiometric Sr3Fe2O7 under collaboration with scientists at PANDA and PUMA. The research… [read more]

09.10.2014 The interest of science, medicine and industry in the research neutron source is so large, as the increasing number of research applications impressively proves, that the FRM II is bursting at the seams. Staff and scientists have to switch to container castles. Therefore, the cooperation… [read more]

09.10.2014 Today, several hundred members of the European scientific community gathered at the European Spallation Source (ESS) construction site in Lund, Sweden, for the ESS Foundation Stone Ceremony. The event was held to ‘lay the foundation’ both for the new facility, which has recently begun… [read more]

30.09.2014 Currently, the procedure for obtaining the storage license of FRM II’s fuel elements in the interim storage facility in Ahaus is continuing. The Society of Nuclear-Service (GNS) as operator of the interim storage facility presents at present the relevant documents to the Federal Office… [read more]

24.09.2014 On 23rd of September 2014 Dr. Marc Janoschek has received the Wolfram-Prandl-Prize 2014 of the "Komitee für Forschung mit Neutronen" during the "German Conference for Research with Synchrotron Radiation, Neutrons and Ion Beams at Large Facilities". The prize is awarded every two years to… [read more]

55 students from 13 different countries participated again at the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science Labcourse at MLZ. They learned neutron scattering in lectures in Jülich and based on experiments at the research neutron source FRM II. [read more]

Lithium-ion batteries are seen as a solution for energy storage of the future and have become indispensible, especially in electromobility. Their key advantage is that they are able to store large amounts of energy but are still comparatively light and compact. [read more]

Since today the FRM II provides users and customers from science, industry and medicine after a thorough review again neutrons and irradiation services. [read more]
