Forschungszentrum Jülich

The European Space Agency’s FLEX mission marks the beginning of a new era of plant research from space. The satellite, which was specifically developed to observe photosynthesis, will track how plants react to drought, heat, and other environmental stresses. Forschungszentrum Jülich operates the German FLEX project office, contributes its scientific expertise to the mission, and supports researchers in using the freely available satellite data.

What are the consequences of rising CO₂ concentrations in the atmosphere for wheat? On World Food Day, 16 October, a study involving the Forschungszentrum Jülich shows that the composition of key proteins is changing—and with it, baking quality.

To gain a better understanding of the brain, researchers need to untangle its vast labyrinth of nerve fibres. Jülich is developing new methods to do just that. A novel imaging technique is now expanding existing approaches. Read more about this in the research magazine effzett.

A new study by Forschungszentrum Jülich outlines pathways to a greenhouse gas-neutral, resilient, and competitive energy system. It highlights the importance of European cooperation and a considered approach to new dependencies.

The schwartz group and Forschungszentrum Jülich today unveiled a demonstration plant in Simmerath designed to test the use of hydrogen in high-temperature industrial processes. The demonstration plant was developed within the Helmholtz Hydrogen Cluster (HC-H2).
