Forschungszentrum Jülich

There is ongoing debate about how economically viable agrivoltaics is compared with conventional ground-mounted photovoltaic systems. We spoke to Dr. Matthias Meier-Grüll from the Institute of Plant Sciences and doctoral researcher Chantal Kierdorf from the Institute Jülich Systems Analysis about the current state of research and the prospects for agrivoltaics.

ARQUE Systems, a spin-off from Forschungszentrum Jülich and RWTH Aachen University, aims to bring about a breakthrough in quantum computing with a scalable architecture. A key advantage: the processor is based on conventional semiconductor technology. The first system is currently being set up in Jülich.

Forschungszentrum Jülich is taking part in this year’s HANNOVER MESSE. The event will showcase current projects, start-ups and exhibits in the fields of artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, research infrastructures and sustainable energy systems. Come and visit us in Hall 11, Stand B22.

Increasingly dry summers, alongside a rise in heavy rainfall events, are presenting us with new challenges in our management of water resources. To mark World Water Day on 22 March, we spoke to Prof. Dr. Stefan Kollet and Dr. Frank Herrmann from the Institute of Bio- and Geosciences – Agrosphere.

A new momentum microscope at Forschungszentrum Jülich makes electrons and their properties in solids visible. The instrument, developed entirely in Jülich, provides unprecedentedly insights into materials – and works significantly more effective than previous systems.
