09.02.2015 Worldwide, battery research is one of the most intensively studied research fields, because – for various reasons – the need for energy storage devices is growing rapidly. Also at the MLZ, several research groups work in this field and try to gain a better understanding of how batteries… [read more]

For the development of a new fuel with lower enrichment, Uranium-molybdenum (UMo) embedded in an aluminum matrix is a promising candidate. However the severe diffusion reaction between the two materials Al and UMo during irradiation degenerates the fuel performance and therefore has to be… [read more]

The MaMaSELF registration for the years 2015-2017 runs until 31 January (non-European), 27 February (European students) and 30 April 2015 (without scholarship). [read more]

12.12.2014 Dr. Matthias Rossbach and his team of the Institute of Energy and Climate Research, IEK-6, Nuclear Waste Management and Reactor Safety of the Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH designed and constructed a new instrument for prompt and delayed fission neutron induced reaction Gamma… [read more]

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]
