Research at the neutron tomography facility ANTARES, precision work in forming technology, or the construction of neutron guides – the diversity at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Centre (MLZ) is immense. Two school students had the chance to experience this first-hand during their internship at the MLZ. Alongside their own project on developing more energy-efficient electric motors, they gained exciting insights into many areas of the MLZ and its partners.
