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!
Coenzyme Q10, or Ubiquinone, fuels cellular energy and protects against oxidative stress. Scientists from the University of Hamburg have visualised and quantified how cells take up coenzyme Q10 using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) imaging at DESY's PETRA III synchrotron.
