The 16th international conference on X-Ray Microscopy, XRM, will take place 12-16 August in Lund, Sweden. Conference host MAX IV Laboratory warmly welcomes participants to an engaging programme, featuring plenary and parallel sessions, poster presentations, and inspiring keynotes, including from special guests speakers Stefan Hell, Nobel Prize laureate in Chemistry 2014 and Anne L’Hullier, Nobel Prize laureate in Physics 2023.
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.
