Christian Moser, environmental policy spokesperson for the CSU regional group in the Bundestag and Member of Parliament for the Freising constituency, has now visited FRM II. During the tour, Christian Moser said he was “very impressed by the portfolio and potential” of the research neutron source.

Excessive stress in a material can lead to fatigue, often rendering it unusable. To prevent this, researchers have investigated a particularly promising composite at MLZ’s Material Science Lab.
