Recently, a new step for international cooperation in the FAIR project has taken place: For the first time, a partner from the industry of a FAIR shareholder nation is on board as a partner and sponsor in the GET_INvolved programme. On the campus in Darmstadt, Dr. Ulrich Breuer, Administrative Managing Director of GSI/FAIR, Jörg Blaurock, Technical Managing Director of GSI/FAIR and representatives of the Polish company "S2Innovation" signed the first project associate program...
It is still a glimpse into the future: Astronauts could be put into artificial hibernation and in this state be better protected from cosmic radiation. At present, there are already promising approaches to follow up such considerations. An international research team led by the Biophysics Department of the GSI Helmholtzzentrum in Darmstadt now has found decisive indications of the possible benefits of artificial hibernation for radiation resistance.
Many of Europe's biggest facilities in physics-related disciplines have just cemented a long-term deal to commit to sharing and processing open data. This agreement was signed at the “ESCAPE to the Future” conference, where partners of the European Science Cluster of Astronomy & Particle physics ESFRI research infrastructure (ESCAPE) project as well as members of the scientific community and the European Commission gathered at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Science in Brussels…
What happens in a supernova explosion? Why do we accelerate particles? What does the work of researchers involve? High school students can get to the bottom of these and many other questions in the interactive online events of "Meet a scientist". In a second period from November 21 to December 9, 2022, school classes will again have the opportunity to talk directly with scientists from the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung and the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in…
The Datacenter Strategy Award for Innovation, presented for the first time this year, was recently awarded to Dr. Helmut Kreiser, head of GSI and FAIR's Green IT Cube high-performance data center, at the Datacenter Strategy Summit 2022. The award recognizes GSI/FAIR's strategy to use the Green IT Cube as a living lab for developing new ideas and innovations in collaboration with startups, companies and research institutes.
On Thursday, November 3, the new research building of the Helmholtz Institute Jena was ceremonially opened after a construction phase of almost 2.5 years. Following a welcome by Professor Paolo Giubellino, Scientific Managing Director of GSI and FAIR, greetings were delivered during the ceremony by representatives of the State of Thuringia, State Secretary Dr. Katja Böhler for the Thuringia Ministery for Economy, Science and Digital Society, and State Secretary Professor Barbara Schönig ...
