The Scientific Computing Group of MLZ organizes the first school on the simulation software BornAgain, which will take place on 21-22 November 2016 at MLZ Garching. The School will introduce students and researchers working in the field of GISAS or reflectometry in hands-on tutorials to new… [read more]

The combination of the neutron diffraction techniques and the software program "Umweg" at MLZ is a big step forward to improve neutron studies on many highlighting materials, in order to answer the often difficult question of their real symmetry. [read more]

On October 1 a new two-year project will begin, which will serve to study the microscopic structure and dynamics of bulk metallic glasses. [read more]

1966 neutron backscattering spectroscopy was born with the first published experiment at the Atomic Egg. For its 50th birthday, the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum and partners organize a workshop on the history and its modern and future applications on September 2nd and 3rd 2016. [read more]

Samantha Zimnik was granted with the Laura Bassi price for her outstanding scientific achievements in the field of surface physics at the positron source NEPOMUC. [read more]

Experimental physicists Prof. Christian Pfleiderer and Prof. Peter Böni from the physics department of TUM are awarded the European Physical Society's prestigious Europhysics Prize. The prize is awarded for the "discovery of a skyrmion phase in manganese silicon" and shared with three theoretical… [read more]

Two research teams have studied the new class of iron-based superconductors at the instrument PUMA of the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz centre and independently came to the same surprising result: The superconducting Cooper pairs change their symmetry. [read more]

An international research team has discovered the mechanism by which a pharmaceutical excipient from the class of block copolymers improves the solubility of large quantities of a poorly water-soluble active substance. [read more]

The magnetic properties of thin film systems with superconducting and ferromagnetic states and an insulating layer in between were never studied before. [read more]
