Making success visible
Our Success Stories and the projects supported through the Hi-Acts Use Case Initiatives demonstrate how innovation and collaboration at five Helmholtz Centres – the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY), the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung, the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB) – lead to groundbreaking solutions. Together with strong partners from industry and healthcare, we are advancing the use of cutting-edge accelerator technologies. Be inspired!
Impact Assessment: The Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) has developed a flexible test stand for battery to-mography, providing real-time insights into battery performance. It integrates with synchrotron beamlines and is compatible with all major battery formats.
