We make the invisible visible
On June 30, 2017 Professor Jette Sandholm Kastrup, University of Copenhagen were granted two shifts of beamtime at BioMAX by the Program Advisory Committee (PAC) and the MAX IV Laboratory Management for the project “Molecular recognition of agonists, antagonists and positive allosteric modulators at ionotropic glutamate receptors”. The ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are highly abundant
Join us in Copenhagen as we explore solutions for two of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals: Sustainable Cities & Communities and Good health & Wellbeing. MAX IV Laboratory has some tickets to share if you would like to join. Please contact tutti@maxiv.se if you are interested! Day 1 is about exploring solutions for the development goals. Our trend keynotes give you an overview,
Leaves on a Gingko tree growing on the inner yard of MAX IV Laboratory in Lund. By using infrared micro-spectroscopy at beamline D7 situated at the MAX III storage ring (closed December 2015) scientists from Lund University, Vilnius University and the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm have been able to identify molecular signatures of fossil
Katarina Jacobsson is the new Administrative Director at MAX IV Laboratory. – I really look forward to start my work at MAX IV Laboratory, says Katarina Jacobsson. The science produced here will impact both individuals and the whole society in a positive direction and that is a highly stimulating work environment. My experience from balancing
Mari Helene Farstad, Department of Chemical Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway is part of the group doing investigations of palladium alloy surfaces for catalysis and hydrogen technology at the HIPPIE beamline. Since opening 21 June 2016 and up to the summer shutdown MAX IV Laboratory will have received 21 groups of scientists, involved
– We are convinced that further enhancement of our ongoing collaboration will bring more and better science from these two research facilities for many years to come, says John Womersley, Director General at European Spallation Source. The duration of the MoU is ten years, which shows our dedication and seriousness in creating a world-leading
The figure shows top-up operation for a number of hours at the present maximum current. Plotted alongside the current is the product of current and lifetime. Presently we want high current to condition the ring. Conditioning can be thought of as a cleaning process of the inside of the vacuum chambers. This process is slow
Today we welcome our Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC). 14 distinguished scientists from around the world are coming to MAX IV in order to look, listen, and advise. Ten of the members are new and we particularly welcome them. The SAC has an important role because it sense checks what we do and plan. If
David Kroon, Van-Thai Pham, Jörgen Larsson, Amélie Jarnac, Henrik Enquist, Andrius Jurgilaitis The studied sample is an indium antimonide (InSb) coated with 60 nanometres of gold. This type of structure is called photo-acoustic transducer which is a device that can convert the energy in light to a sound wave. The sample is illuminated with
– It is very fascinating to carry out experiments as one of the first users at BioMAX, says Emil Tykesson, postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Analysis and Synthesis, LTH and the Department of Experimental Medical Science, Medical Faculty, Lund University. The high-end instrumentation in combination with the great support from the excellent MAX IV staff under leadership of
