Germany joins the Field

Describe your materials problem as before. Once a research direction is clear, the laboratory search now also covers a selected set of German university and research-institute facilities, reviewed from their own public pages with the same evidence labels as the Dutch and Belgian ones.

This is a pilot. It covers a small part of German materials research, chosen where the public sources are clear about the method and the place, and it grows only as further facilities pass review. A method or region without a German lead is shown as a gap, not filled with a guess.

Each German lead rests on a passage from a dated public source that names the method, and on separate evidence for the city where the facility is. The review of those sources is AI-assisted; no person at Argentum Field or at the laboratory has confirmed the lead yet.

As with every lead, a public source never means current operation, access or availability, and no laboratory is contacted on your behalf. The coverage panel under every search shows which methods have a German lead and which do not.

Köln or Cologne, München or Munich, Aachen or Aken: the Field Agent recognises the common German, English and Dutch names of the German cities it knows, as it already does for Dutch and Belgian cities. A place it does not know stays unknown rather than guessed.

For the main method of your question, a lead in the city you name comes first. Where city coordinates are known, nearby leads are preferred, on either side of a border. Other methods keep their own order. Distances are measured between city centres, not between instruments; a city without known coordinates has no distance estimate. When every lead for a method is in another country, the coverage panel names the countries where leads are available.

Answers are written in English or Dutch; German answers are not available yet. The free question, the free workspace and its limits are the same. Luxembourg is not covered yet.
