We have reached a milestone in our understanding of nature. The discovery of a particle consistent with the Higgs boson opens the way to more detailed studies, requiring larger statistics, which will pin down the new particle's properties, and is… — Rolf-Dieter Heuer Copy Share Image
Whatever basic science resolves, at some stage it is of use to society. The problem is we do not know when or where. — Rolf-Dieter Heuer Copy Share
At the moment, it actually says nothing about a possible cosmic-ray effect on clouds and climate, but it's a very important first step.” This… — Rolf-Dieter Heuer Copy Share
If you don't invest in basic research at some stage you start losing the basis of applied research. — Rolf-Dieter Heuer Copy Share

Science or research is always under pressure to deliver something which can be used immediately for society. — Rolf-Dieter Heuer Copy Share
People are saying I don't need science, I have everything, but everything is based on science. — Rolf-Dieter Heuer Copy Share
At some point, the time will have passed when individuals are capable of major discoveries. — Rolf-Dieter Heuer Copy Share
If there is no fundamental science then there is no basis for applied science. We have to strike a balance. 23 years ago the… — Rolf-Dieter Heuer Copy Share
The ability to work together has to be in the blood of particle physicists. They learn very early on that it is impossible to… — Rolf-Dieter Heuer Copy Share
We have reached a milestone in our understanding of nature. The discovery of a particle consistent with the Higgs boson opens the way to… — Rolf-Dieter Heuer Copy Share
The short-term vision is: I research on something which I can use tomorrow, and for some politicians it is even better if it's today.… — Rolf-Dieter Heuer Copy Share
