LENS Brochure

Solving the grand challenges facing our societies often requires the development of new high-performance materials. Research on materials will provide the basis for the technologies of the future that are needed to achieve a sustainable high standard of living all over the globe. Tailor-made materials and material systems are required for the advancement of all key technologies, from information technology and renewable energy concepts, to safer and more environmentally friendly transport systems and life-saving medical applications. Probing materials with neutrons stands as one of the pillars of the analytical techniques in this chain of discovery. LENS will help developing these technologies by optimising the use of resources for neutron investigations through strategic coordination among the neutron facilities.
