Adding acid drop-by-drop
Styrelsen för MAX IV-laboratoriet har nu presenterat ett antal åtgärder med anledning av Vetenskapsrådets genomlysning och rekommendationer gällande strålrörsprogrammet på MAX IV. – Vi har ett stort arbete framför oss men nu ser vi en tydligt utstakad väg för arbetet framåt, säger MAX IV:s styrelseordförande Marianne Sommarin. – Med dessa åtgärder och de genomlysningar som
If you fly over MAX IV right now and look down, you’ll see a large circular building. The reason for this size and shape is the 528-meter-long 3GeV storage ring which precisely guides bunches of electrons traveling at velocities approaching the speed of light. As the electrons pass through arrays of magnets called insertion devices,
Recently on social media, a number of synchrotrons have taken part in the Black and White Challenge. The rules are simple, each facility must take a photo every day, in black and white with no people and post it on social media. You are not allowed to explain what is in the photo or why
Read the Feature in Nature Reviews Materials here. MAX IV participated in the Big Science Business Forum early this year in Copenhagen. This was an important event to gather together big science infrastructures from across Europe and discuss opportunities with relevant industries. #MAXIV Director Christoph Quitmann @BSBF2018 in #Copenhagen asks “what can you do
The detailed development plan for Science Village gets a green light from the Government of Sweden which means that the construction of important support infrastructure for MAX IV and ESS can now start. “This decision is obviously good for us. We welcome it and we have been waiting for a long time. We are
Earlier this summer, Lund University campus was filled with hopeful students, proud families, and busy professors. It was graduation season which meant that students were cashing in their hard work in order to receive new titles like, Bachelor of Science, Master of Arts or Doctor of Philosophy, many of whom had been taught by
Recently, huge forklifts have been making their way through the experiment hall transporting the heavy lead walls that are making up the experiment and optics hutches for one of MAX IV’s highest energy beamlines. DanMAX is under construction and the beamline team is expecting to receive its first users around early 2020, says one
Science@FELs 2018 in Stockholm For the fourth time the Science@FELs conference was organized, this time in Stockholm in the AlbaNova University Center at Stockholm University between 24 and 27 of June. The preceding events took place in Hamburg, at PSI and in Trieste. Science@FELs 2018 is a conference by FELs of Europe and focuses
“BioMAX serial crystallography setup using a High Viscosity Extrusion (HVE) injector specially designed for the BioMAX endstation by Bruce Doak of the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research, Heidelberg, and fabricated at that institute.” BioMAX has successfully performed the first serial crystallography experiments at the beamline. This new method is performed at room temperature
