Towards a future setup for catching ultrafast protein movement at FemtoMAX

Proteins are the building blocks of viruses, cells, and enzymes. Fully understanding them requires access to imaging their often very rapid motion. An international team of researchers have recently published a study showing that the ultrashort X-ray pulses of the FemtoMAX beamline are enough for making images of, in this case, stationery, protein crystals with

Engineering antibodies with dual target capture

In the sphere of human antibody therapeutics, the DutaFab platform shows broadening potential. Pharmaceutical giant Roche has developed ‘dual targeting’ Fab molecules containing two spatially independent binding sites for targeting distinct antigens. Their recent study, published in Nature Communications, demonstrates the high efficacy of these bispecific monoclonal antibodies for VEGFA and PDGF-BB growth factors related

Gearing up for challenging proteins at MicroMAX

A group of researchers from Sweden and Germany provides proof of concept for implementing serial crystallography at MAX IV in a recent study. The researchers have studied three different proteins using high-viscosity extrusion and fixed-target methods. The acquired data is promising and shows a clear path towards confidently starting serial crystallography experiments at the BioMAX

A molecular-scale look into oxide formation for high-performance electronics

  An international team of researchers has investigated the industrially important atomic layer deposition procedure for deposition of hafnium oxide on indium arsenide. Using ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the researchers could follow the oxide formation under industry-relevant conditions. The results of the research play a significant role in the future development of low-power and

Floating droplets aid studies of challenging protein solutions

Researchers from University of Copenhagen, Technical University of Denmark and Lund University have recently published a paper showing that the acoustic levitation method can successfully enable studies on high concentrations of proteins in solution. The results have important implications for areas such as pharmaceutical, food and chemical industry. For many applications, such as pharmaceuticals, it’s

MAX IV & partners poised to innovate life science sector

MAX IV Laboratory, together with Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab) and the European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS), form the joint Science Hub InfraLife, Infra Access for Life Science Sweden. Recently launched, InfraLife supports Sweden’s national investments in large-scale research infrastructure through dynamic facilitation and access to cutting-edge technology, data science, and active industry-enabling collaboration, outreach,

Healing of tendons and catalysis for sustainability – ERC grants awarded to MAX IV users

European Research Council (ERC) have recently awarded prestigious grants to Professor Hanna Isaksson from Biomedical Engineering, Lund University and Associate Professor Wei Cao from the Nano and Molecular Systems Unit, Univerity of Oulu. We asked them a couple of questions on how their grants will further enable their research at MAX IV. Professor Hanna Isaksson,

Phosphate as an arsenic mobiliser in diverse soils

Ion chambers and PIPS detector at beamline 1811, Max-lab. Credit: Charlotta Tiberg Phosphate outcompetes arsenate, a form of arsenic, for sorption in aluminium-rich oxides according to scientists at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU). Their study, published in Chemosphere, holds important implications for the management of arsenic contamination in soils and groundwater. The research,

A Coherent Approach to 3D X-ray microscopy

High-resolution 3D X-ray imaging is essential for many fields of science. It lets us study the intricate inner works of everything from integrated circuits to bone and microfossils. In a recently published paper, the authors describe the first ptychographic X-ray computed tomography experiment performed at the NanoMAX beamline. A porous nickel inverse opal structure was

Happy holidays from the newest MAX IV helper

A new robot helper is under development as a collaboration between RobotLab LTH and MAX IV. A couple of days ago it was finally able to say “hi” by drawing out our name. It is coming close to completion and the team are now only working on the final touches. Lisa Klighav, LTH has as
