Accelerator-driven, low-energy compact neutron sources are considered the next generation of neutron source for a wide range of applications. On 12 December 2022, researchers from the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS) at Forschungszentrum Jülich achieved a significant breakthrough, delivering first neutrons with a powerful new target/moderator technology.
It is with great sadness that we inform you that Prof Dr Michael Steiner passed away on 5 November 2022, aged 79.
The second call for GNeuS postdoctoral researchers opens on 1 November. More information and guidelines are available at gneus.eu.
Our latest newsletter features LENS’ recent report on the neutron science landscape in Europe, as well as updates from our members.
To meet the challenge of designing new materials that are competitively functional and highly recyclable, the potential of more than 50 analytical research infrastructures of the European ARIE network will be harnessed through a new project, ReMade@ARI. Several LENS members will participating in the project, which launches on 1 September 2022 after receiving 13.8 million euros funding under the European Union’s (EU) Horizon Europe programme.
On 27 July 2022, ISIS Neutron and Muon Source and Institut Laue Langevin (ILL) signed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), formally extending their cooperative research activities for a further ten years.
Neutron Science in Europe, published as a joint initiative of the BrightnESS2 project and LENS Initiative, presents the current landscape for neutrons in Europe and addresses the challenges and opportunities for European neutron science to remain a key contributor in addressing current and future societal challenges.
In recognition of his outstanding contributions to science, Professor Robert McGreevy was named in the Queen’s Jubilee Birthday Honours List 2022.
To celebrate International Women’s Day, we asked our female colleagues at Europe’s Neutron Scattering facilities to share their insights & advice for women in STEM.
