- First-ever separation of a hydrogen isotope mixture containing tritium using quantum effects
Fusion power plants of the future will not only require extremely hot plasmas and strong magnetic fields but also a fuel cycle in which the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium can be recovered,... - Bacteria convert uranium into a stable chemical compound
The radioactive heavy metal uranium is usually found in the soil in a mineral-bound form but can be converted into soluble forms by environmental influences or mining activities. If it enters the e... - A new perspective on high-temperature superconductors
An international research team, including scientists from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), has achieved a methodological breakthrough in the study of superhydrides, a promising clas... - Unlocking the world of AI agents for scientific coding
Many software developers use large language models (LLMs) in their daily work to get the code they need. While LLMs are useful, the ability to run the generated code, edit files and use additional ... - How copper atoms shed electrons
When laser flashes hit matter, electrons are knocked off their orbits around the atomic nuclei. This can generate extremely hot plasmas composed of charged particles - ions and electrons. As they r... - Photocatalytic material class: high expectations of polyheptazine imides confirmed
Photocatalysis promises an efficient conversion of abundant solar energy into usable chemical energy. Polyheptazine imides have some key structural and functional twists that make them especially i... - Looking through X-ray glasses: Aging processes in sodium-zinc molten salt batteries
Up to now, it has only been possible to deduce indirectly why high-temperature batteries lose efficiency and durability while in use. For the first time, a team from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-R... - New usage guide introduces the software suite to a broad audience
The CP2K open-source package is among the top three most widely used research software suites worldwide for simulating the behavior of atoms and molecules. Among other applications, CP2K plays an i... - Novel form of water
An international research team led by scientists from the University of Rostock, École Polytechnique in France, and Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf has discovered a previously unknown form of ...
- Predicting the chaos created by bubbles
A team of international researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), Johns Hopkins University and Duke University has discovered that a century-old theory describing turbulence... - Understanding carbon traps: how it locks CO2 into place
As industries seek innovative solutions for carbon capture, scientists have turned to advanced materials that efficiently trap and store carbon dioxide from industrial emissions. A recent study... - New catalysts for more sustainability
The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) funds research into controlled quantum states of individual or coupled systems with its ongoing emerging talent program "Quantum Future"... - Extraordinary accumulation of rare atoms could improve geological dating methods
Beryllium-10, a rare radioactive isotope produced by cosmic rays in the atmosphere, provides valuable insights into the Earth's geological history. A research team from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresde...
- Next step in light microscopy image improvement
It is the computational processing of images that reveals the finest details of a sample placed under all kinds of different light microscopes. Even though this processing has come a long way, ther... - A closer look at cell toxins - how radionuclides interact with kidney cells
When radionuclides enter our organism, whether by inhalation, ingestion, or through wounds, they pose a potential health risk. Many previous studies on radionuclide exposure have focused mainly on ... - Artificial intelligence boosts super-resolution microscopy
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) might be best known from text or image-creating applications like ChatGPT or Stable Diffusion. But its usefulness beyond that is being shown in more and more...
- Microorganisms can help to extract dangerous heavy metals from wastewater
A research team at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has managed to purify water containing uranium using a special kind of bacteria known as magnetotactic bacteria. The name derives ... - Software solution for a better circular economy
Saving energy and raw materials as well as reducing environmental impacts is as urgent as never before. That's why consumers and suppliers alike seek to understand how to get reliable material, pro... - Sophisticated mix of methods offers improved structure analysis
Sometimes scientists have to accept that a method they have used for years fails under certain conditions. Such a failure calls for a careful analysis of the shortcomings and their subsequent elimi... - Different X-ray techniques combined
Sophisticated mix of methods offers improved structure analysis - Young scientist from the University of Regensburg awarded the Lieselotte Templeton Prize of the German Crystallographic SocietySome...
- New model describes boiling process with much greater precision
When a liquid boils in a vessel, tiny vapor bubbles form at the bottom and rise, transferring heat in the process. How these small bubbles grow and eventually detach was previously not known in any... - Innovative graphite recycling awarded as top European innovation
Each year, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) celebrates the entrepreneurial and societal achievements of its innovators. They are honored with the EIT Awards in four categor... - Exploring technetium in the environment
With a half-life of about 210.000 years, the radioactive isotope technetium-99 (99Tc), which is produced in nuclear reactors by fission of the uranium isotope 235U, plays a central role in the ques... - Magnetic trapping of rare-earth ions may lead to a handy technology for their separation
Some raw materials are considered critical by the European Commission. These include many representatives from the rare-earth elements group, for which supply bottlenecks are imminent and no simple...
- New x-ray Raman spectroscopy method promises spectacular insights into the interior of planets
At the heart of planets, extreme states are to be found: temperatures of thousands of degrees, pressures a million times greater than atmospheric pressure. They can therefore only be explored direc...
