MLZ - Neutrons for Research and Innovation

Forschungs-Neutronenquelle
Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II)

The Forschungs-Neutronenquelle Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II) is a Corporate Research Center of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) located on the premises of the modern research campus in Garching.

Here, neutrons and positrons enable a wide range of applications in research, industry and medicine: from developing new technologies, such as batteries for electric cars, to precise anti-cancer drugs.

An international research team has characterized a new material, which could be applied to separate deuterium from hydrogen. Deuterium is for example needed as fuel in fusion reactors.

High pressure significantly modulates the association of water with polymers and phase separation processes. New investigations by a German-American research team at the MLZ KWS-3 instrument reveal the…

Einstein called it 'spooky action at a distance.' Schrödinger deemed it quantum mechanics’ most essential trait. For decades, quantum entanglement has captivated the brightest minds—and now, we can create…
