DESY is one of the world’s leading accelerator centers. With DESY’s large-scale facilities, researchers explore the microcosm in all its diversity – from the interplay of the smallest elementary particles to the behavior of novel nanomaterials and those vital processes that take place between biomolecules. The accelerators as well as the detection instruments that DESY develops and builds are unique tools for research: They generate the strongest X-ray light in the world, bring particles to record energies and open completely new windows into the universe.
