We make the invisible visible
Northern Lights on Food was chosen as a new theme for LINXS and will run from August 2021 to June 2024. It gathers a range of national and international researchers and industry representatives within five working groups. MAX IV is a partner in LINXS – Lund Institute of Advanced Neutron and X-ray Science. LINXS
NUDT15 bound to TH7755. Credit: Emma Scaletti Recent research by a group of researchers from Sweden, the US, and the UK successfully developed a specific NUDT15 inhibitor, TH7755, that helped the group to obtain structures of clinically relevant NUDT15 variants: Arg139Cys, Arg139His, Val18Ile, and V18_V19insGlyVal. These insights allow further understandings of the structural basis of

Some argue that world economies cannot survive the impacts of business as usual in terms of pollution and high energy demands. In Lund, sustainability in work and life

New findings from the University of Groningen (RUG) in the
Bluelining robot’s work during the test A bluelining robot is invented at MAX IV, bringing the Survey, Alignment, and Mechanical Stability (SAM) team one step closer to automate the floor-marking process for equipment installation. It is a promising progress to leaving behind the previous manual, labor-intensive, and time-consuming process. The robot is a result of
A view of the Öre River in northern Sweden. Credit: Simon Herzog Iron organic complexes in Sweden’s boreal rivers significantly contribute to increased iron concentration in open marine waters, X-ray spectroscopy data shows. A Lund University study in Biogeosciences characterizes the role of salinity for iron-loading in estuarine zones, a factor which underpins intensifying seasonal
Freeze drying suspensions of nanocellulose in water under the right conditions result in well-ordered networks of aligned fibres. This study shows that the ice-templating method is a promising way for sustainable composites and new human-made wood materials. Human-made or engineered wood is regularly used in furniture, buildings and appliances. The material usually consists of some
A research team from Finland, Netherlands and Sweden has used the MAXPEEM beamline to study non-metallic inclusions in ultra-high-strength steel. Such additions to the steel matrix may have significant effects on the steel properties and are therefore important to know and control. Ultra-high-strength steels are crucial engineering materials used in various fields ranging from the

Welcome to MetalBeams online seminar! Registration is now open. Read more and sign up today! MetalBeams is an initiative within SIP Metallic Materials, run by Jernkontoret, Swerim and RISE, to encourage the use of large-scale infrastructure (synchrotron x-ray and neutron sources) by the metals industry. In view of the current covid-19 crisis and consequent
A transparent injection scheme using a multipole injection kicker was successfully brought into routine operation in the MAX IV 3 GeV ring. It is the first such implementation on a fourth-generation ultralow emittance storage ring light source. The results were recently published by the team of researchers from MAX IV and the French synchrotron facility
