Swedish national synchrotron laboratory MAX IV and Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) BESSY II light source announce the signing of a 5-year cooperation agreement. The new agreement establishes a framework to strengthen cooperation for operational and technological development in the highlighted fields of accelerator research and development, beamlines and optics, endstations and sample environments as well as digitalisation and data science.
Acoustofluidic Crystallography: The next leap in serial crystallography at MAX IV
The innovative project “Acoustofluidic Crystallography” (AFX) is set to revolutionize the field of serial crystallography (SX) by introducing a novel sample delivery method that promises to enhance the efficiency and reliability of experiments conducted at synchrotrons and X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs). This cutting-edge research is a collaborative effort involving KTH Royal Institute of Technology, DESY, and MAX IV, funded by the LEAPS-INNOV initiative (GA: 101004728).
Well attended 35th User Meeting with a forward look
MAX IV would like to thank our staff, attendees, and vendors for an inspiring time during the 2024 MAX IV User Meeting, which brought together 370 participants.
Conceptual design for three potential new beamlines developed with WISE
After successfully bringing the first 16 funded beamlines into operation, we now look into the future. In collaboration with the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability (WISE), funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation and together with the scientific community, MAX IV will develop the conceptual designs for three potential new materials science beamlines.
LEAPS-INNOV project offers funding for collaborative work
The LEAPS-INNOV project is offering seed funding for joint projects between LEAPS facilities and users. Two types of initiatives can be supported with approximately 100k€ for 18 months projects: I) collaborative technology developments II) collaborative development of strategic community access modes. Via the LEAPS-INNOV-co-creation programme, experienced as well as new user communities have an opportunity
