How to Select Brilliant Beamtime Proposals

image: (from left) PAC members Charlotte Sanders and Jill Miwa on a break from discussing beamtime proposals. The MAX IV Programme Advisory Committee (PAC) met from 31 October through the first week of November to discuss beamtime proposals submitted during the August call for general users. The MAX IV User Office holds PAC meetings on

First light detected at CoSAXS

  On Thursday November 14, the team at the CoSAXS beamline detected the first monochromatic light, a crucial step in the beamline commissioning activities. The CoSAXS beamline, set to become an advanced multipurpose Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) instrument, reached an critical landmark last week when the team detected the first monochromatic light. This detection

It’s not just about the light

  We talk a lot about light at MAX IV and we are very proud of the quality and brightness of the X-rays coming from our accelerator every day. However, the light on its own is not enough. Scientists coming to use MAX IV have lots different requirements when it comes to how their precious

MAX IV Biolab is officially open

  The biological laboratory at MAX IV is the central laboratory facility to support life science related experiments at various beamlines and also a platform to carry out in-house life science research. The lab complements those beamline-attached sample preparation units and is designed to offer extended instrumentation access and top-notch supports with continuous upgrading possibility.

9 Beamlines simultaneously receiving light at MAX IV

Photo by Steve Molloy, Head of Operations at MAX IV.   Something monumental happened at MAX IV this week. For the first time in our history, The three accelerators at MAX IV simultaneously supplied light to 9 beamlines. Some of these beamlines are in commissioning and not accepting regular users yet. For up-to-date information on

Knowledge exchange between MAX IV and SESAME is now underway

Image: The SESAME Synchrotron in Jordan The Swedish Institute is funding scholarships for training for researchers related to the SESAME synchrotron in Jordan to come to MAX IV for 3 – 6 months. The first researcher to be awarded a grant is now in Lund and well underway with her training. Saima Rasheed is an

Biological material discovered in Jurassic fossil

MAX IV’s Anders Engdahl was part of a team that published a landmark study about biological tissue found in a Jurassic fossil. The work published this week in Nature is one of the most comprehensive studies of its kind and sheds new light on the life of a prehistoric sea creature.   Ichthyosaurs were reptiles

Better catalysts for making biofuel

Sara Blomberg is a postdoc at Department of Chemical Engineering, Lund University. Her research project “In situ activation study of NiMo catalyst tailored for biofuel production” focuses on characterisation of catalysts used in the hydrogenation processes of depolymerisation of lignin. What this translates to in layperson language is “trying to understanding how a catalyst cuts

Sample changer for BioMAX in successful user operation

The macromolecular crystallography beamline BioMAX have for the first time been running their sample changer on a regular basis. The robot has been changing 320 samples for four user groups within its first two weeks of operation. At a macromolecular crystallography beamline, the samples are biological molecules. One example is the proteins which are the

Graphene takes a step towards renewable fuel

Researchers from Linköping performed experiments at the Max-Lab beamline I311. They recently published two papers, one in the journal Carbon and one in Nano Letters. This work will be conducted at the MAXPEEM beamline in the future which is expecting the first expert users in the first quarter of 2019. Here is the news release from
