Research Instruments to Build Magnet Undulator for Helmholtz Center

June 22, 2026 Editorial Staff Comments Off on Research Instruments to Build Magnet Undulator for Helmholtz Center

RI Research Instruments in Germany has been awarded a contract by Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin to build a cryogenically cooled permanent magnet undulator including a liquid-nitrogen cryocooler system. The cutting-edge undulator will generate photons for the upcoming Soft-to-Tender X-ray Spectroscopy beamline at the BESSY II x-ray source for battery research. […]

Spintronics at BESSY II: Real-time Analysis of Magnetic Bilayer Systems

May 26, 2026 Editorial Staff Comments Off on Spintronics at BESSY II: Real-time Analysis of Magnetic Bilayer Systems

Spintronic devices enable data processing with significantly lower energy consumption. They are based on the interaction between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic layers. Now, a team from Freie Universität Berlin, HZB and Uppsala University has succeeded in tracking, for each layer separately, how the magnetic order changes after a short laser pulse has excited the system.
