Vacuum technology not only enables us to gaze into the future but also to peer into the distant past. Giant telescopes like the ones used at Mauna Kea Observatory in Hawaii, the Instituto de Astrofisica in the Canary Islands and the European Southern Observatory in Chile rely on their flawless mirrors whose reflective coatings would not be possible without vacuum technology such as that provided by Leybold.

Material science is an interdisciplinary field which deals with the discovery and design of new materials, involving studies of its synthesis, structure, properties and performance. The research activities cover the whole range of materials including electronics, optical and magnetic materials, polymers, medical implant materials and nanomaterials like e.g. Graphene. Thus it is a main driver for the development in the fields of electronics, pharmaceutics & medicine, energy, nanotechnology and industrial production of materials in general. Example applications: - Research for new coating...

Particle accelerators generate high energy particles (electrons, protons, ions) for fundamental nuclear research. High Energy Physics In many research centers storage rings are joined to accumulate a high beam current and accelerate to higher energies. Highest energies are achieved today at the LHC ring at CERN (Geneva). Many storage rings use the synchrotron light generated in electron storage rings as a brilliant source of radiation e.g. for material science. While linear accelerators require at least high vacuum pressures, the storage rings need ultra-high vacuum, in very large machines...

Precisely because space can be considered as the “home of vacuum” both its scientific exploration and technological utilization require the ability to reproduce extreme vacuum conditions on earth. Space Space travel, scientific and commercial satellites, extraterrestrial research such as ESA’s Rosetta mission or NASA’s mars rover Opportunity can only be successful if all involved materials, components and devices are successfully tested under high-vacuum and ultrahigh-vacuum conditions. Space simulation chambers vary in size from few liters for testing of e.g. small PCB boards up to several...

Our modern life is pervaded by electronics - visibly and invisibly. Most of today’s highly integrated circuits in computers, smart phones, cars, home automation, medical technology etc. are based on semiconductor technologies. Also the generation of renewable energy by solar panels is only possible by suitable semiconductor processes. Most of these harsh processes rely on the presence of reliable and stable vacuum conditions.
