Neutron Analytics for Energy Research (JCNS-3)

This department is in its founding phase. It will make the unique possibilities of neutron scattering and neutron analytics accessible to the research and improvement of materials, processes and systems of energy technology. This concerns in particular operando studies of real systems for energy conversion and energy storage (fuel cells, batteries, etc.) and the determination of position and movement of light elements (hydrogen, lithium, sodium, and so on), which are so significant for the energy revolution. Thus, JCNS-3 is able to bridge the gap between method-oriented research and applied research as done for example in the Institute of Energy and Climate Research (IEK) and the relevant institutes at RWTH Aachen University.

News and Events

More than 500 researchers at ECNS 2023

From 20 to 23 March, the eighth European Conference on Neutron Scattering (ECNS) took place at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) in Garching. This year's host MLZ is a cooperation for the scientific use of the research neutron source Heinz Maier-Leibnitz between the Technical University of Munich, the Forschungszentrum Jülich and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon.

First Neutrons from Next Generation Neutron Source in Jülich

Accelerator-driven, low-energy compact neutron sources are considered worldwide as the next generation of neutron sources for a wide range of applications. Researchers from JCNS at Forschungszentrum Jülich have now achieved a breakthrough by delivering the first neutrons using a new powerful target/moderator technology developed in Jülich.
