Exploring the Universe
from Microscopic to Macroscopic Scales.

Exploring the Universe
from Microscopic to Macroscopic Scales.

The Research Cluster ELEMENTS: Exploring the Universe from Microscopic to Macroscopic Scales brings together world-leading scientists from distinct fields of research to combine the microscopical scales of elementary particles with the macroscopical scales of astrophysical objects.

The ultimate goal is to address the question of the origin of the heavy chemical elements, such as platinum and gold, in our universe.

Read about the fundamental-physics questions ELEMENTS is answering in different Working Areas and take a look at our research facilities.
