Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR)

Biobased #spintronics: Sustainable magnetic field sensors – printed   Magnetic field #sensors are found in automobiles, smartphones and security systems. But many of these components are made of materials that are neither health- nor environment-friendly and are complex to produce. In Nature Communications (DOI: 10.1038/s41467-026-71077-9), an international team led by researchers from Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has now presented a sustainable alternative: printed sensors composed of iron, iron oxide and #bio-based materials like cellulose and starch. They measure magnetic fields reliably, are resource-saving to produce and can purportedly be disposed of safely or recycled after use.   Technische Universität Dresden, Else Kröner Fresenius Center for Digital Health, TU Darmstadt - Institut für Materialwissenschaft, Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo   Read more: https://lnkd.in/dvEHVDJG   Image: Lin Guo

Understanding extreme states of matter faster: New simulation method speeds up evaluation of X-ray scattering experiments Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have developed a new procedure, enabling them to speed up elaborate computer simulations that analyze matter under extreme conditions. In particular, this work improves the evaluation of experiments at large-scale research facilities like the European XFEL – and should facilitate substantial progress, among others, in #fusion research and laboratory #astrophysics. The team is presenting its results in the journal npj Computational Materials (DOI: 10.1038/s41524-026-02088-9). Read more: https://lnkd.in/ds-49Kgq Image: Toma Toncian

🏆HZDR-Preise 2025: An unserem Zentrum wurden herausragende Forschungsleistungen und besonderes Engagement des vergangenen Jahres ausgezeichnet. Der HZDR-Forschungspreis ging an Dr. Tian Ma, Dr. Hendrik Hessenkemper und Dr. Guangyuan Huang vom Institut für Fluiddynamik. Das Team entwickelte eine experimentelle Methode weiter, mit der sich Gasblasen in turbulenten Flüssigkeiten dreidimensional und in Echtzeit untersuchen lassen. Die Arbeiten liefern wichtige Erkenntnisse für das Design von Industrieanlagen, beispielsweise bei der Abwasserbehandlung oder in chemischen Reaktoren. Geehrt wurden außerdem Mitarbeiter*innen in den Kategorien Technologie, Transfer, Kommunikation und Promotion – unter anderem für innovative Beschleunigertechnik sowie für die Entwicklung und Herstellung neuer kupferbasierter Radiopharmaka. Mit einem 'Cap Toss' feierten die in 2025 erfolgreich Promovierten ihren Abschluss. Herzlichen Glückwunsch an alle Preisträger*innen! Fotos: HZDR / A. Wirsig

Surrounded by stardust: Iron-60 discovery in Antarctic ice reveals that the Local Interstellar Cloud leaves its mark Our Solar System is currently passing through the Local Interstellar Cloud, a region of highly diluted gas and dust between the stars. On its path, Earth continuously accumulates #iron-60, a rare radioactive isotope of iron produced in stellar explosions. This has now been confirmed by an international research team led by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) through the analysis of Antarctic ice tens of thousands of years old. From the steady but time-varying influx, the researchers conclude that the radioactive isotope has been stored within the cloud since a long-past stellar explosion. The results have been published in the journal Physical Review Letters (DOI:10.1103/nxjq-jwgp).

Atoms vibrate on circular paths – with an unexpected twist: For the first time, researchers observe and control how angular momentum is transferred between vibrations of a crystal lattice An international team of researchers, including scientists from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and the Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, for the first time directly observed how angular momentum is transferred and conserved within a crystal lattice. Using intense terahertz laser pulses, the researchers were able to selectively control these processes, which unveiled a surprising effect: during the angular momentum transfer, the direction of rotation reverses – caused by the rotational symmetry of the material. The results, published in Nature Physics (DOI: 10.1038/s41567-026-03274-8), provide new insights into the foundation of magnetism and open up possibilities for tailored control of quantum materials.

🎙️Neue Podcast-Folge auf detektor.fm: Wie Eiweiße das Edelmetall Palladium recyceln Palladium ist ein unverzichtbares Edelmetall für die Medizin. Doch seine Rückgewinnung aus Industrieabfällen ist bisher aufwendig und umweltbelastend. Die BMFTR-Forschungsgruppe Pep2Rec unter Leitung von Dr. Nora Schönberger vom Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology (HIF) at HZDR setzt daher auf winzige Eiweißketten, die das Metall wie eine biologische Angel aus Lösungen fischen. Im Wissenschaftspodcast #Forschungsquartett erläutert sie das Verfahren näher.   👉Jetzt reinhören:  https://lnkd.in/gA3EJ6Fg 🔗Weitere Podcasts und Radiobeiträge mit HZDR-Forschenden: https://lnkd.in/dBwA4cfb Bild: HZDR/André Wirsig
