The gaze towards the smallest building blocks of matter and into the infinite expanses of the universe – this is the physics of extremes that the cluster of excellence PRISMA++ represents. In search of “new physics”, scientists constantly push the boundaries of knowledge.
Physics of Extremes
Cluster of Excellence PRISMA++Looking at the smallest building blocks of matter and into the infinite vastness of the universe – the PRISMA++ Cluster of Excellence stands for this physics of extremes. In the search for “new physics”, our scientists are constantly exploring the limits of knowledge.
High-precision experiments and innovative technologies are created on the Johannes Gutenberg University campus and its modern infrastructure.
At the same time, PRISMA++ teams play key roles in large-scale international experiments and contribute their expertise to global collaborations.
In addition, our internationally recognized theoretical physics team develops numerous innovative concepts that drive our experiments forward.
This creates a unique environment for PRISMA++ researchers, in which the combination of precise measurements and strong theoretical ideas leads to new insights into the fundamental building blocks of the universe.
