Imaging the X-ray focus of NanoMAX with a single nanowire

A team of researchers from Lund University have imaged the beam focus at the hard X-ray nanoprobe NanoMAX using a single nanowire as the detector. The result is an unprecedented ultrahigh-resolution 3D image of the 88 nm diameter focus revealing fine details of the beam. “A basic way of describing an X-ray experiment is that

Identifying chemical content to increase usefulness of solid waste ashes

  Fortum Waste Solutions, Sysav, Eon, Stena and NOAH, in collaboration with Researchers from RISE and Chalmers, used beamline Balder to identify chemical species of copper and zinc in ashes that remain after burning solid waste. Not all forms of the metals in ashes pose the same risk to the environment. Therefore, more detailed knowledge

Two-dimensional materials offer versatile corrosion protection

Illustration by: Giulio D’Acunto, Lund University Two-dimensional materials can be used as a coating to protect copper from corrosion. A recent study conducted at beamline HIPPIE shows that the onset of corrosion can be delayed from room temperature up to more than 120 degrees centigrade using graphene or hexagonal boron nitride. The different properties of

Crystalline iron: geological sieve for nuclear waste storage

Copyright 2020 American Chemical Society. What must nations consider when managing spent nuclear fuel with the utmost safety? The geological composition of the storage site is one critical aspect. Glacial meltwater loaded

Skeletal bone formation viewed across length scales

Access to tools that can image the complex structure of bone on the micrometre to nanometre length scales opens new possibilities. An international research team used NanoMAX to study mineralisation of skeletal bones. The study shows the importance of zinc for the process. The template for a skeleton is laid out in the embryo by

Imaging temperature-dependent structural transition in a perovskite nanomaterial

An international team of researchers have used nano focused X-rays at the NanoMAX beamline to image the complex structure of metal halide perovskite nanowires. The high-resolution imaging made it possible to see domains inside the nanowire, as the temperature was increased across a structural phase transition. The structure of perovskite materials plays an important role

Follow the flow of remote experiments at BioMAX

BioMAX is a state-of-the-art macromolecular crystallography beamline, the first beamline at MAX IV Laboratory to open its doors in 2017. At BioMAX, researchers use X-rays to characterize the structures of macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). By hitting crystallised molecules with X-ray and observing the resulting diffraction pattern, scientists can mathematically

A fuel conversion process akin to photosynthesis

Flow diagram: photoelectrode and solar energy converting carbon dioxide and water conversion to fuel. Credit: Jianwu Sun Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden are developing a promising new method to selectively convert carbon dioxide and water to various types of fuel. Driving this reaction is solar energy. The recent study, published in ACS Nano, combines

A new way of controlling magnetic order in solids

  An international team of researchers have studied structural and electronic phase transition in the transition metal oxide Ca3Ru2O7 using ARPES at beamline Bloch. The results show that the electronic structure is a driver in spin-reorientation transition. This is a step in the direction of new spintronic technologies. Researchers are fascinated by transition metal oxides

MAX IV Highlights 2019

  2019 was a landmark year for MAX IV Laboratory. Continuing the long-standing tradition of delivering innovative technical instruments and capabilities for x-ray science to the research community since MAX-lab was inaugurated in 1987, MAX IV broke new ground by opening five new beamlines to users, and bringing three more into the commissioning phase for
