May 2, 2018 Kicking a curve with magic nuclei leads to a win for nuclear fission
Even as we are going to celebrate 80 years since the discovery of nuclear fission, there remain significant gaps in our understanding of the nuclear fission process – which impacts on the success of modelling the fission reaction and its applications. Despite tremendous effort, aspects of nuclear fission are still open to inquiry.Nuclear reactors have already been in successful operation for 75 y…

April 27, 2018 IN16B: commissioning of the two projects BATS and GaAs
The two IN16B instrument projects BATS and GaAs have just been successfully commissioned. They were developed in collaboration between the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg and the ILL over the last years, and both ventures were largely financed by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research through its ‘Verbundforschung’ programme.The BATS (Backscattering And Time-of-fli…

April 11, 2018 Unveiling the electrical and magnetic properties of lanthanum nickelates
The rare earth nickelates RNiO3 with the high Ni3+ oxidation state have continued to attract enormous interest due to the famous metal-insulator transition and unusual charge and spin-order phenomena. The prediction for multiferroicity and even superconductivity in thin film hetero-structures have triggered new intensive research efforts. However, our theoretical understanding remains limited. Lo…
