The German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved the construction of the central magnet system for the “BabyIAXO” project by the “Color meets Flavor” Cluster of Excellence at the Universities of Bonn, Siegen, and Dortmund. A total of 6 million euros will be invested in the project. The goal is to search for the axion—a previously undiscovered elementary particle that could solve one of the greatest mysteries of particle physics.

What is dark matter? How does space get to accelerate particles a hundredfold compare to mankind's biggest labs? Particle and astrophysicists at Ruhr university Bochum and TU Dortmund tackle these and more fundamental questions about the nature of the universe. The new podcast episode "Think.Try.Transform" features Prof. Prof. Julia Tjus and Prof. Johannes Albrecht, giving insights into their research (in German).

Cutting-edge research “made in NRW”: The “Color meets Flavor” Cluster of Excellence was officially launched in Bonn. Teams from the universities of Bonn, Siegen, and Dortmund, along with the Jülich Research Center, are jointly investigating the strong and weak interactions of quarks and the origins of the universe.
