When #quantum computers freeze: Team at #HZDR demonstrates that the so-called quantum #Zeno effect can nearly halt computational processes as the number of #qubits increases – a dreaded phenomenon comparable to a traditional computer “freezing”. ▶️ www.hzdr.de/presse/qzeno
Researchers at #HZDR, with support from @ufz.de, developed two new methods based on hydrodynamic cavitation and cold atmospheric plasma with gas dispersion, to break down “forever chemicals” of the #PFAS family, which are extremely resistant to chemical degradation. ▶️ www.hzdr.de/presse/pfas
A new approach to treat advanced prostate cancer: Researchers at HZDR developed compounds that can be labeled for both PET and SPECT imaging while remaining chemically identical to the therapeutic molecule. This could help personalize radiotherapy. www.hzdr.de/presse/diagn...
Team of #HZDR, #Wismut and #UGR demonstrated that bacteria can convert #uranium dissolved in water into a stable compound when they have access to #glycerol as a food source, a finding relevant to future research on the use of bacteria for environmental #remediation. ▶️ www.hzdr.de/presse/u-bac...
Exploring implications of the energy transition 💡 By bringing together researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders, the Building Bridges conference from @hzdr.bsky.social focuses on current developments in energy-related research & innovation. 📆 Sept. 9-10 ℹ️ building-bridges-conference.eu
From Dresden to Melbourne: HZDR researcher Manja Kubeil has been appointed Adjunct Associate Professor @monashuniversity.bsky.social. The role strengthens a collaboration spanning more than a decade and opens new opportunities in research and teaching across continents. www.hzdr.de/presse/manja...
Welcome to HZDR, Prof. Ágnes Tóth-Petróczy! Since June 2026, @tothpetroczylab.bsky.social has been a Research Team Leader at the Center for Advanced Systems Understanding (CASUS). Her research focuses on the function and evolution of intrinsically disordered proteins. www.hzdr.de/presse/tothp...
Was für ein Abend bei der Dresdner Langen Nacht der Wissenschaften! Vielen Dank an alle Besucher*innen für das große Interesse und die spannenden Gespräche. Es hat uns viel Freude gemacht, an drei Standorten die Vielfalt unserer Forschung zu zeigen. Zur Bildergalerie: www.hzdr.de/db/Cms?pOid=...
Warum können wir nur einen kleinen Teil des elektromagnetischen Spektrums sehen? Die interaktive Ausstellung „Lichtlinien" im COSMO Wissenschaftsforum zeigt bis 18. August anhand verschiedener Exponate, wie (un)sichtbares Licht Wissenschaft, Technik und Kunst verbindet. www.hzdr.de/presse/licht...
Researchers at europeanxfel.bsky.social, #HZDR, Rostock University and other collaborating institutions used high-precision experiments to demonstrate that most widely used models for the behavior of electrons in warm dense matter are inaccurate. #WDM ▶️ www.hzdr.de/presse/wdal
Aluminium foil, shock-compressed with 500,000x the atmospheric pressure. Just before the shock wave reaches the back of the foil, an X-ray pulse takes a snapshot. The experiment reveals: in warm dense aluminium, electrons behave differently than scientists expected. ⚛️🧪 www.xfel.eu/news_and_eve...
👏Reading the history of the universe in atoms from cosmic explosions: @erc.europa.eu announced today the winners of its latest #ERCAdG competition. Among the awardees: Anton Wallner from #HZDR with project #SUPREME.🎉 Read more: ▶️ www.hzdr.de/presse/erc_adg
In 4 Tagen ist es soweit: Am 26.6. öffnen Dresdner Hochschulen, Forschungseinrichtungen und Unternehmen ihre Türen zur Langen Nacht der Wissenschaften. Unter dem Motto „Wo Neugier Wissen schafft“ beteiligt sich das HZDR an drei Standorten, u.a. @htwdresden.bsky.social. www.hzdr.de/presse/lndw2...
(1/2) Neue Forschungsinitiative für die Energie der Zukunft: HZDR und Uni Rostock gründen HEDI – die High Energy Density Initiative. Ziel ist es, Materiezustände wie im Inneren von Sternen zu erforschen und die Fusionsenergie nutzbar zu machen.
Was passiert in einer Zelle, wenn sie sich teilt? Warum verhält sich Licht manchmal wie eine Welle und manchmal wie ein Teilchen? Antworten auf diese und weitere Fragen finden Kinder und Jugendliche beim "Summer of Science", dem Ferienprogramm des HZDR-Schülerlabors. www.hzdr.de/presse/scien...
Registration is now open for Building Bridges 2026: Join researchers, innovators, policymakers, start-ups and industry representatives in Dresden on September 9-10 to discuss the future of Europe's energy system. Register here: building-bridges-conference.eu/register-on-...
