Scientific Technology and Engineering
About
The Research Group Scientific Technology and Engineering is a multidisciplinary group with strong methodological expertise’s with focus on extending disciplinary boundaries - from basic research to holistic solutions. The group is mainly active in low temperature technology, miniaturisation, ultra-high vacuum technology and development and implementation of advanced instrumentation by the integration and combination of mechanical engineering, automation, electronics and artificial intelligence.
The research group consists of the world's leading experts in the field of scientific engineering and develops neutron moderators and targets, cryogenic infrastructure and detector systems. It applies new manufacturing techniques to develop and build components for neutron science, thereby defining the state of the art for cold neutron sources and neutron scattering instruments. The research group provides fundamental components for several neutron sources, specialising in the design, construction and testing of essential devices such as the chopper systems or the para-hydrogen moderators and hydrogen cryostat for the European Spallation Source (ESS), the solid methane moderator and cryostat for the High Brilliance Source (HBS), and the first and second target station hydrogen moderators for the Spallation Neutron Source SNS at Oak Ridge National Laboratory - examples of technological masterpieces and highly complex scientific systems "Made in Jülich".
The research group aims to generate scientific and technical findings and developments for the major social challenges of the future in various research fields. The adaptation to new challenges results in new approaches and scientific foci’s that allow the boundaries of what is feasible to be pushed.
