TUM opens new Garching laboratory building housing physics and bioscience researchers
The Technical University of Munich has opened a new laboratory building on its Garching campus. Researchers from physics and the biosciences now share it.
Why it matters: Physics and bioscience researchers at the Technical University of Munich now work under one roof in the new Garching laboratory building.
The Technical University of Munich (TUM) said it has opened a new laboratory building at its Garching campus.
According to the university, researchers from physics and the biosciences work together in the building.
TUM presented the building as creating more space for basic research. The university noted that fields such as laser physics and quantum mechanics produced practical uses that were not foreseen at first.
