The new laboratory of the Cluster for Natural and Technical Sciences in Arms Control Research (CNTR) at TU Darmstadt was officially opened on 21 January.

It offers a wide range of technical possibilities for testing detectors and sensors, conducting application-oriented studies and implementing teaching formats. The equipment includes radiation detectors, 3D printers and electronic measuring devices.

In a solemn ceremony at Münster's historic town hall, the presidents of the German Physical Society (DPG) and the Physical Society of Japan (JPS) signed a joint declaration against nuclear armament and the use of nuclear weapons.
