Exploring fundamental questions of solid state physics, can feel just like opening a Christmas present – you cannot be sure, what you will find. By combining extreme experimental conditions, for example, an international team led by HZDR physicists revealed insights into the mysterious conducting properties of the crystalline metal CeRhIn5, which can act as a superconductor. With its unique setting HZDR’s High Magnetic Field Laboratory (HLD) offers perfect conditions for such excursions into the smallest dimensions.
