Franconian students win a special prize for research on the skin effect!

A remarkable success for the students of the Franconian Switzerland high school: on May 31, 2025, as part of the 60th national competition of “Jugend Forscht”, the special prize “Quality assurance through non -destructive examination” was awarded. This prize, which is awarded by the German Society for Destructive Testing (DGZFP), emphasizes particularly talented young researchers. Award winners are the committed students Niklas Brütting (19) and Konstantin Heinlein (18), who convinced with their work on the subject of "superficial fields-the magnetic skin effect".

In their research, the two young scientists dealt with the exciting phenomenon of the magnetic skin effect. They examined how magnetic alternating fields focus on the surfaces of conductive materials and developed mathematical models and test structures. In this way, they brought together theory and practice in an impressive way, which gave the competition a special flair.

a price with tradition

The DGZFP has been awarding this price at the state level since 2005 and also on the nationwide stage since 2009 to promote young talents in the field of non -destructive examination. "It is important to appreciate the excellent performance and commitment of these young researchers," said Marika Maniszewski, who presented the award. In a solemn setting, the two award winners were thanked for their outstanding work, and the jurors also received praise for their careful selection of the winners.

The competitive environment of "Jugend Forscht" has blossomed over the years into an important platform for young talent developers in Germany. Further exciting competition rounds are already being planned, whereby the next round is to take place in 2026. Information about the competitions and the current participation is available on the official page of "Jugend forscht".

networking of theory and practice

niklas and Konstantin impressively show how youth research not only requires theoretical knowledge, but also practical skills. This price is a strong sign of the importance of education in MINT subjects (mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology), especially at a time when innovative approaches and solutions are urgently required.
