The institute studies the structure and dynamics of materials and investigates solar cell technology. Several large scale facilities are available, the most important of which are the 10 MW BER-II nuclear research reactor at the Lise Meitner campus in Wannsee and the third-generation BESSY synchrotron in Adlershof.
History
The Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin was created on 1 January 2009 by fusion of Hahn-Meitner-Instituts Berlin and Berliner Elektronenspeicherring-Gesellschaft für Synchrotronstrahlung.
The Hahn-Meitner-Instituts Berlin (HMI), named after Otto Hahn and Lise Meitner, was founded 14 March 1959 in Berlin-Wannsee to operate the BER-I research reactor that began operation with 50 kW on 24 July 1958. Research originally focussed on radiochemistry. In 1971, the federal government took over a 90% share in the HMI.
The Berliner Elektronenspeicherring-Gesellschaft für Synchrotronstrahlung (BESSY) was founded in 1979. The first synchrotron BESSY I in Berlin-Wilmersdorf began operations in 1982.
