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…
The Japanese Kimura Award goes to Dr. Matthias Schädel, the former head of the research department for nuclear chemistry at GSI/FAIR, for his “outstanding and pioneering contributions to the advancement of radiochemistry.” Schädel is the first non-Japanese recipient of this honor. The award was presented at the APSORC 2025 (Asian-Pacific Symposium on Radiochemistry) held in Matsue, Japan, in September, in conjunction with a lecture by the award winner.
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.
[Translate to English:] Unter Führung von Professorin María Eugenia Toimil-Molares, Leiterin der Abteilung Materialforschung von GSI/FAIR und Professorin an der Technischen Universität Darmstadt, hat ein Forschungsteam neuartige Oberflächen aus Goldnanodrähten entwickelt, deren Benetzungsverhalten sich gezielt steuern lassen. Diese Materialien, hergestellt durch Elektrodeposition und Ionenspur-Nanotechnologie, eröffnen neue Perspektiven für Anwendungen in mikrofluidischen Geräten, im…
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…
GSI and FAIR will welcome eight new trainees beginning their careers at a world-leading research center when training starts in 2025. Six apprentices began in August in the fields of industrial mechanics and electronics, followed by two students in a dual study program in computer science in October. They can look forward to a diverse and inspiring environment with state-of-the-art technology, exciting research projects, and practical training that will open up the best prospects for their…
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 ...
