• Breaking Ground for HAFUN: Hamburg’s New Hub for Fundamental Physics

    20.01.2026 The new research facility will enable innovative experiments in gravitational physics and serve as a platform for global scientific collaboration. Construction of the Hamburg Fundamental Interactions Laboratory (HAFUN) officially began with a ceremonial first groundbreaking. Once completed, the new facility will bring together around 200 researchers from the Cluster of Excellence Quantum Universe, the Department of Physics and the MIN Faculty at the University of Hamburg. They will use cutting-edge infrastructure to explore fundamental questions in particle physics and cosmology. „With HAFUN we are creating ideal laboratories for fundamental research. Special labs for experimental gravitational wave detection on ground and in space are one of the highlights. We will…

  • WE Heraeus Physics School und 62. Karpacz Winter School in Theoretical Physics „Multimessenger Astrophysics and Cosmology“, February 28 – March 6 2026 in Karpacz

    WE Heraeus Physics School und 62. Karpacz Winter School in Theoretical Physics „Multimessenger Astrophysics and Cosmology“, February 28 – March 6 2026 in Karpacz With next-generation observatories like the Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer, multi-messenger astrophysics—combining gravitational waves, electromagnetic signals, and neutrinos—will sharpen constraints on the dense-matter equation of state, extreme gravity, and heavy-element nucleosynthesis. Mergers also serve as standard sirens, enabling independent measurements of the Hubble constant. The school will cover the thermal history of the Universe after its first second, from the quark–hadron transition to neutrino decoupling, linking microphysics to cosmological observables.
