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]

Neutron scattering experiment at PUMA resolves a contentious superconducting issue [read more]

Neutrons shed light on vital enzymes’ mechanism of action [read more]

Neutronen enthüllen das Kräftespiel des Basischen Myelinproteins [read more]

In the future, antineutrino detectors may provide an additional option for monitoring reactors. Physicists at Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM) have now found interesting results using fast neutrons from the Heinz Maier Leibnitz Neutron Research Facility (FRM II). [read more]

For the first time Prof. Dr. Tobias Unruh and his team (Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU)) have demonstrated with neutrons how long-chain molecules in their liquid melt move. [read more]

Experiments with neutrons at the Technische Universität München (TUM) show that the antidepressant lithium accumulates more strongly in white matter of the brain than in grey matter. [read more]

The German Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) supports again the construction and development of scientific instruments at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz-Zentrum (MLZ). [read more]

Jürgen Allgaier from Forschungszentrum Jülich tested a new class of surfactants, which is now applied in commercial colour removers. (article only in German!) [read more]

Nowadays lithium ion batteries are commonly used as storage media in portable electronic devices like laptops, smart phones, cameras, etc. But their field of application is also expanded to electro mobility and storage solutions for renewable energies. Though lithium-ion technology is promising to… [read more]
