On Tuesday, 3.10.2023, we will guide you through one of the world’s most modern research neutron sources.
Look at the reactor pool and learn more about the non-destructive investigation of matter with neutrons. There is plenty of information, lectures, films, games, Lego models of scientific instruments and the opportunity to have your own questions answered by our scientists:
- Who is working on the research neutron source FRM II??
- How does such a high-performance research reactor work?
- What is radioactivity and where do we encounter it in everyday life?
- Why are neutrons used for research?
- Why are radioisotopes/radiopharmaceuticals used for cancer therapy?
- Why can bacteria become resistant to antibiotics?
CURIOUS?
Then visit the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum at the research neutron source Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II) on Monday, 3.10.2023.
The meeting place this time is the new Science Congress Center Munich (GALILEO), Walther-von-Dyck-Strasse 10, 85748 Garching near Munich.
