GSI/FAIR is collaborating with ABB to improve the energy efficiency of its scientific infrastructure. Formally launched last week on site in Darmstadt, Germany, the collaboration project with ABB focuses on the highly advanced technical infrastructure within the existing and operational GSI accelerator complex.
On Friday, October 3, the Hessian State Representation in Berlin invites visitors to an open house from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Visitors can gain an exciting insight into Hesse’s cutting-edge research and pioneering projects. The GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung and the future FAIR accelerator center will also be represented with an interactive booth, offering exciting insights and hands-on activities related to the research center in Darmstadt. Visitors will be able to see up…
In the anniversary year Quantum2025, the German Physical Society (DPG) has honored GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt as one of the new quantum locations. This gives GSI/FAIR, one of the leading research sites for particle and accelerator physics, official recognition in the field of quantum science and technology.
It is a great success for science communication and demonstrates how fascinating cutting-edge research can be: Around 7,000 visitors since its opening in spring, 40 school classes, twelve workshop days—this is the balance sheet of the SCIENCE POP-UP project, realized in Darmstadt’s city by the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung and the international accelerator center FAIR, currently under construction. Opened in March this year and originally planned to run through the summer months,…
This summer, 34 students from 11 countries came to Darmstadt to take part in the GSI and FAIR Summer Student Program. Over the course of eight weeks, they immersed themselves in cutting-edge research, worked on their own projects on campus, and experienced the unique atmosphere of an international accelerator laboratory. A special glimpse behind the scenes is provided by the students’ photo competition.
They already saw Earth from 400 kilometers above in space – now two astronauts, together with international space experts, visited the accelerator facilities of GSI and FAIR, where scientists explore the universe in the laboratory. During their visit to the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung and the international accelerator center FAIR currently under construction here, they were welcomed by the management and scientists from GSI/FAIR. They had the possibility to gain exclusive…
A new round started for the ESA-FAIR Space Radiation Summer School 2025, one of the leading training programs in the field of radiation research. The renowned program brings together young scientists from all over the world to spend two weeks intensively exploring the challenges of cosmic radiation – a topic that is crucial for the future of space travel. The first-class summer school for radiation research is jointly organized by ...
How do particle accelerators work? What does the inside of a neutron star look like? Can ion beams be used to destroy tumors? Answers to these and other exciting questions were provided to 56 visitors to the GSI/FAIR campus in August as part of “Tage der Industriekultur Rhein-Main” (Industrial Heritage Days Rhine-Main) under this year's motto “shift change.” They gained an insight into the accelerators and experiments at GSI and the FAIR construction project.
A team of scientists from the Helmholtz Institute Mainz, a branch of GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt and Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, has secured funding under the Helmholtz Enterprise spin-off program. Dr. Dominik Studer, Dr. Tom Kieck, and their colleague Yuki Ishikawa received €230,000 in funding over 14 months for their spin-off project AVLIS (Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation) with the aim to prepare for the establishment of a company. The developed…
