GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung

GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung is a research institute in Germany specializing in the study of atomic nuclei and the properties of heavy ions—types of atomic particles with more protons and neutrons than common atoms. It operates powerful accelerators that speed up these ions to very high energies, enabling scientists to investigate fundamental questions about matter, the universe, and to develop applications like cancer treatment through ion therapy. The facility also collaborates internationally, contributing to scientific knowledge and innovations in physics, materials science, and medicine.
