Small angle neutron scattering and neutron reflectometry
The video titled "Small Angle Neutron Scattering and Neutron Reflectometry" features Andrew Jackson from the European Spallation Source (ESS) providing an introduction to two neutron scattering techniques: Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) and Neutron Reflectometry. In this presentation, Jackson explains the fundamental principles behind these methods and discusses their applications in studying the structure and properties of materials. He also highlights how these techniques can be utilized to investigate polymers, colloids, surfactants, and other complex systems, offering insights into their molecular interactions and macroscopic behaviors.
NEPHEWS Project
(NEutrons and PHotons Elevating Worldwide Science)
Improved research infrastructure and scientific endeavours have the potential to propel innovation forward and significantly enhance the quality of life for populations. With this in mind, the EU-funded NEPHEWS project aims to broaden access to advanced neutron, synchrotron, and free-electron complementary research infrastructures across an expanding range of countries. The project will collaborate with its user base to develop a user-driven access program focused on enhancing the accessibility and usability of the research infrastructures (RI) for diverse communities. Additionally, it will offer a wide range of experiments, provide expert training, and conduct virtual and in-person workshops and collaborations. Finally, the project will facilitate political dialogue and advocate for research funding.
