MAX IV, Sweden’s national synchrotron laboratory welcomes TomoWISE, a full-field tomography beamline as the new chosen WISE beamline for the facility. The rigorous selection process was made possible thanks to relentless contributions by many actors. Selection of the new WISE beamline follows a three-year cooperation aimed at enabling new materials science for sustainability by the MAX IV organisation and the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability (WISE) programme.
MAX IV is making significant societal contributions in terms of record-high scientific productivity. In 2023, the number of publications increased by 51% compared to the previous year, and the number of unique users increased by 31%. Moreover, the number of proposals submitted in the most recent Open Call was higher than ever.
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.
