Quantum Materials and Collective Phenomena

We develop and use scattering methods to determine structural and magnetic order and excitations in novel quantum-, nano- and functional materials in order to achieve an understanding of macroscopic properties and functionalities. Challenging scientific problems are the drivers of our work developing new instruments, right through to designing novel high brilliance neutron sources.

Neutron research

Milk from Green Leaves

Milk alternatives made from sugar beet leaves – this is the vision of a Jülich research team. They have examined milk proteins and other components in cheese, yoghurt, cow’s milk and oat milk using X-rays and neutrons to find out what the structure of the products and individual components must be like in order for them to be stable, appealing and nutritious.
