Jülich/Garching, 22 October 2020 – Every year, up to 1,200 visiting scientists from all over the world come to the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) in Garching to perform measurements on its FRM II research neutron source. The Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Forschungszentrum Jülich, which is a cooperation partner of MLZ, are now expanding the research capacities of the world’s most versatile neutron source with two new buildings, which will provide 4,500 m² of space for laboratories, offices, and workshops. The buildings have now been officially opened with a (virtual) ceremony.
