One of the activities of the Institute for Technical Physics focuses on the development, construction, test and operation of high-field superconducting magnets. Being advanced with an industrial partner the magnet technology is commercially used in high-resolution NMR spectroscopy.
Optimization of existing processes and materials is one of the tasks of nanotechnology. Various working groups at KIT focus on the synthesis of printable materials with electronic functionality or on the development of processes to produce inks for printing.
An important goal of the Na61 experiment is to measure particle production related to proton- and pion-carbon-interactions. A group of KIT scientists is involved in these studies at the Super Proton Synchrotron, one of the particle accelerators at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).
