A research team developed an innovative approach to test the limits of Einstein's general theory of relativity. The results of their mathematical model could be verified with the help of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

How does microgravity influence the formation of thin film morphologies in organic solar cells? On May 8 at 14:00, Jan van Stam & Ishita Jalan (Karlstad University, SE) reveal how drying dynamics change aboard parabolic flights and sounding rockets.

How can we detect tiny hints of new physics in gamma rays from distant galaxies? On May 5 at 14:00, Tomislav Terzić from the University of Rijeka (Croatia) shows how Cherenkov telescopes test for Quantum Gravity effects.

Electrolysis is becoming increasingly important. On April 24 at 2 pm, Dominik Krug from RWTH Aachen explains how gas bubbles behave during electrolysis and why they sometimes stubbornly stick to electrodes instead of detaching, reducing efficiency.

How to survive on Mars, when resupply from Earth is impossible? On April 10 at 2 pm, Camilla Tossi explains a promising method to transform water and CO₂ into oxygen, hydrogen, and valuable carbon compounds — using just sunlight!

The call for nominations for the "Friends of ZARM Award 2025" is open. The award is accompanied by a grant and seeks to encourage university students to continue their work in space related fields of...

School students present their self-built mini satellites at the 11th German CanSat competition, taking place from 3 to 7 March 2025 in Bremen, Germany.

Update: Event is fully booked!

ZARM is on board for the "German Space Day" on March 29, 2025. As part of our outreach activities, the general public can register for a free tour of the Bremen Drop Tower.

The Bremen Senate approved an EU ERDF grant of 3.7 million euros with which the ZARM will build a Mars laboratory. 2.8 million euros will be made available for the optimization of processes in Bremen’s ports.

The Center of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM) has now a dual leadership team. Together with Professor Marc Avila, Professor Katharina Brinkert is now serving as the director of the institute.
