Twelve beamlines taking light

Since 19 November, twelve beamlines at MAX IV are taking light, which is a record number in the facility’s history. The former MAX-lab, which closed in 2015, had at the most eleven beamlines up and running. MAX IV has now, with a little over three years going since the first beamline went into operation surpassed

First light detected at CoSAXS

  On Thursday November 14, the team at the CoSAXS beamline detected the first monochromatic light, a crucial step in the beamline commissioning activities. The CoSAXS beamline, set to become an advanced multipurpose Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) instrument, reached an critical landmark last week when the team detected the first monochromatic light. This detection

Reflections from the SESAME Scholarship Programme: Saeed Saedy

During the autumn, two visiting

First Users at Balder Beamline Seek to Illuminate MXenes

Researchers aim to learn more about their fascinating characteristics and how

First remote operation at BioMAX

At October 31, 2019, the BioMAX team performed together with AstraZeneca the first 8-hour remote operation experiment. The researchers from AstraZeneca in Mölndal connected successfully to the BioMAX beamline remotely (left picture) and collected data from many samples during their 8-hour beamtime. Ana Gonzalez from the BioMAX team observed together with Helena Käck from AstraZeneca
