This is what pioneering company Epishine is currently investigating at the MAX IV beamline HIPPIE. Swedish cleantech company Epishine’s patented manufacturing process for producing thin, flexible organic solar cells
How can more industrial companies make radical innovation and product optimisation through scientific discoveries? One important step is a better connection to intermediary companies. Welcome to Innovation Cohesion: A new approach to support industrial R&D, a public conference of the CAROTS project that will showcase the role of intermediary companies in strengthening ties between industry,
Northern Lights on Food was chosen as a new theme for LINXS and will run from August 2021 to June 2024. It gathers a range of national and international researchers and industry representatives within five working groups. MAX IV is a partner in LINXS – Lund Institute of Advanced Neutron and X-ray Science. LINXS

A team from the Swedish company Alfa Laval used MAX IV beamline MAXPEEM to gain unprecedented insights on the oxide layer of stainless steel. The information they obtained will be highly beneficial for the company’s R&D activities. At MAX IV Laboratory, we strive to empower academic and industrial users alike with ever more advanced knowledge
In a new publication in Nature Communications, a team from the Dutch company Syngaschem BV and the Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research elucidates for the first time some aspects of the Fischer-Tropsch reaction, used for converting synthesis gas into synthetic fuels. Analysis performed at HIPPIE beamline at MAX IV were instrumental to achieve these
