REXUS: Zero Gravity Student Research

Start of the REXUS 10 research rocket at Kiruna (North Sweden).   Photo: A. Lambert/ESAUnfortunately, it won't be possible for some time to come for student teams from the Aachen University of Applied Sciences and the Technical University Dresden to be able to fly to the International Space Station. However, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) offers a different option of conducting zero gravity experiments. For this, though, the...more

Stars, Jets and Batteries

Magnetic instabilities play a role in the genesis of black holes, yet they regulate also the rotation speed of collapsing stars and influence the behaviour of cosmic streams of matter, so-called jets. This year, at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, such a magnetic instability – the Tayler instability – was verified for the first time ever...more

Photo: Philipp Fischer/AWIIn September 2012, marine biologists from the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) have anchored the first data hub in the North Sea 700 metres north of Helgoland. The hub resembles a multiple socket-outlet, providing ports for up to ten measuring devices. The data hub was designed by scientists from the Helmholtz Centre...more

Drilling Deep to Understand Earth

Like the preceding expedition in 2011, this research voyage ended under palm trees in Costa Rica. Yet prior to that, the scientists had worked at sea in shifts seven days a week for two months.  ...For two months, scientists from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel travelled on the American drilling ship JOIDES Resolution off the west coast of Costa Rica. In this seismically highly active region, they researched the mechanisms triggering earthquakes and volcanism. A few days ago, they returned from their voyage. The drilling...more

Introducing: The new HelmholtzNET

December 2012/January 2013At present, around 3,000 colleagues use HelmholtzNET – particularly the group sections. In technical terms, however, HelmholtzNET was never designed as a collaborative tool and reached its limits some time ago. We frequently received requests for more up-to-date collaborative functions but were usually not able to provide these using the existing...more
