MAX IV transitioned over to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) at the end of September to protect the linear accelerator and storage rings from perturbations in the power supply. The UPS offers instantaneous protection from power outages, and is capable of providing uninterrupted electrical power to MAX IV for 15 seconds with all accelerators in
This week we are going to celebrate Felix Bloch, an inspiring scientist who lends his name to the ARPES beamline at MAX IV. Come back to this page each day this week for a new update on the man himself, the beamline, the science and the reason why we chose this week to talk about
The world is transitioning away from fossil fuels and hydrogen is poised to be the replacement. Two things are needed if we are to make the transition to a low carbon, “hydrogen economy” they are clean and high yielding sources of hydrogen, as well as efficient means of producing and storing energy using hydrogen. Hydrogen

MAX IV Laboratory, Lund University, Sweden, European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 and the Academy of Finland. Remember doing titrations in chemistry class? 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
