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.
