We make the invisible visible
A research team, including scientists from MAX IV have reported in Nature Communications that the quest for atomic perfection in semiconductor devices was based on an oversimplified model. Semiconductors are the fundamental building blocks of all modern electronics. Improvements to these materials could affect everything from the clock on our microwave to supercomputers used
Teresia Olsson defended her thesis this week titled “Timing Modes for the MAX IV Storage Rings”. The defense took place at MAX IV Laboratory, led by her opponent Dr. Atoosa Meseck from Institute Accelerator Physics at the Helmholtz Zentrum in Berlin. At the beginning of her Ph.D. studies, Teresia was given the task to study
Hanna Isaksson, Associate Professor in Biomedical Engineering at Lund University and a user at MAX IV Laboratory has been elected new member in the Young Academy of Sweden for the period 2018–2023 – I started familiarise myself with synchrotron research when I came to Lund in 2011. I study musculoskeletal tissue biomechanics, primarily bone, cartilage
MAX IV has just closed the second open user call for proposals for the beamlines BioMAX, NanoMAX and Hippie. In total 119 proposals were submitted, approximately half of them from Swedish institutions. During the upcoming weeks the Program Advisory Committees will review these proposals and beamtime for the period October 2018 to June 2019
The MAX IV board has at its meeting 15 May unanimously approved the nomination of Marjolein Thunnissen as new Life Science Director at MAX IV. Marjolein will start her new assignment 1 July when Tomas Lundqvist leaves MAX IV for his new appointment as a coordinator at RISE. Marjolein is an expert in

Photo Emma Burendahl L’Oréal-Unesco For Women in Science Prize is awarded in Sweden for the third time. The purpose of the prize is to pay attention to and reward young women who
The FemtoMAX beamline facilitates studies of the structural dynamics of materials. Such studies are of fundamental importance for key scientific problems related to programming materials using light, enabling new storage media and new manufacturing techniques, obtaining sustainable energy by mimicking photosynthesis, and gleaning insights into chemical and biological functional dynamics. The FemtoMAX beamline utilizes
The Applied Physics department at KTH, are currently looking for a Postdoc in the area of soft X-ray ARPES. The strongly correlated systems group is planning for an endstation for soft x-ray Angle-Resolved PhotoElectron Spectroscopy at MAX IV synchrotron in Lund. The postdoc will have the opportunity to commission this new endstation in collaboration with
The Novo Nordisk Foundation has generously decided to fund the construction and operation of a new beamline at the MAX IV Laboratory called MicroMAX with 255 million DKK. MicroMAX has been proposed by the Swedish and Danish research community and will depend on close collaboration with user groups in developing the methods that will be
Christoph Quitmann, Director of the MAX IV Laboratory in Lund, has been elected as a new member of The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences’s class of technical sciences. “The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is an independent, non- governmental organisation with a charter that, in its first article, defines its function as promoting the sciences and strengthening
