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
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
An international collaboration between the UCL School of Pharmacy, the Lund Protein Production Platform (LP3) and ESS, through its DEMAX platform, have performed biophysical and structural studies of three non-structural proteins from the novel coronavirus, SARS CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19. In the spring of 2020, they managed to solve and started to analyse

Join us virtually for the 32nd User Meeting, MAX IV 2020 & 2030, on 28-29 September! Where are we now and where do we want to go? Which important developments and beamlines, emerging science areas, and technologies are necessary to fulfil your needs and reach your vision for MAX IV in 2030? These are just
The DOI for data. credit: Photon and Neutron Open Science Cloud (PaNOSC) MAX IV Laboratory joins with other national and international photon and neutron (PaN) facilities to introduce the Digital Object Identifier (DOI). The DOI is an assigned reference number designed to enhance global traceability for science publications—from experimental details and data sets to

An international collaboration of researchers has found motifs present on lysine receptors (LysM) drive symbiotic and immunity response in legumes through recognition of chitin and nodulation
The Accelerator Development group at MAX IV is constantly researching and testing solutions to improve the quality and stability of the electron beam. A new article published in Physical Review Accelerators and Beams builds upon years of research and previous publications and provides new insights on the impact of an effect called ‘transient beam loading’
Catalysis is an enabling technology and a main driver of our modern economy. Catalysis is a key in the development of sustainable energy systems and production lines of bulk and fine chemicals with low environmental impact. Altogether, the catalysis-based industry contributes to more than a third of the global gross domestic product (GDP). Estimates
Moon-shot missions, such as those of Horizon Europe, require exceptional solutions, and the world-leading Analytical Research Infrastructures of Europe (ARIEs) are one of the key places those solutions can be sought. The ARIE Joint Position Paper highlighting how the common, complementary approach will help address the societal challenges of the Horizon Europe Missions framework programme
The technological advancement of fourth-generation synchrotrons, pioneered by MAX IV Laboratory, opens research opportunities that were impossible just a few years ago. In a newly published research paper, we get proof of the revolutionary impact that MAX IV’s photons can have for the advancement of nanoelectronics, both in research and for industrial manufacturers.
