We are pleased to announce the virtual Workshop „Strategy for future EMBL research infrastructures in the Life Sciences in Hamburg" taking place on Monday, 29th and Tuesday, 30th March 2021. The aim of this workshop is to explore possible future directions for research and research services in structural biology. All interested scientists (user community, stake holders, funding organisations etc.) are most cordially invited to participate. Details about the workshop can be found at https://indico.embl-hamburg.de/event/2/ Registration is open on a first come first serve basis with a limited number of places available.

Scope

This workbench is a three half-day, virtual training class that provides an introduction to data collection for new/prospective users at the LiX beamline. Our goal is to build and sustain a solid user community at LiX. We will provide you with an opportunity to collect preliminary data and encourage you to utilize this to enhance your proposal for future beam-time at LiX. Since there is limited data collection time, this workbench is not designed for you to finish an entire project, so please keep this in mind when choosing the samples you will bring.

Neutron Scattering: An Invaluable Addition to the Nuclear Materials Characterization Toolbox

Presenter: Dr Caleb Massey, ORNL, US

Summary

Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) is an effective tool for understanding processing and irradiation effects on materials, especially when combined with other complimentary analysis techniques. In this presentation, the value of this technique will be highlighted using two recent case studies pertaining to nuclear materials: irradiation enhanced Cr-rich precipitation in FeCrAl alloys and nanoprecipitate optimization in oxide dispersion strengthened Fe-based alloys.

It is a great pleasure and honour to invite colleagues from academia and business, as well as young researchers and students from all parts of the world to attend the Materials Science Conference. The conference, scheduled from October 11-14, 2021 is organized by Prism Scientific Services in collaboration with The University of Queensland.

Â

The conference will underpin the need and importance of collaboration and cooperation by individuals from a wide range of professional backgrounds. Materials Oceania will bring together a multidisciplinary group of scientists and engineers from all over the world to present latest findings and to exchange their ideas. This in turn paves the way for further discoveries, which most often happen where disciplines and specialists meet and congregate. In fact the development of materials was, is and will be fundamental for all technological applications, and in the entire field of applied science targeting the improvement of quality of life for humanity. At the end of the materials conference, we hope that attendees will feel they have generated the most up-to-date information available.

Â

We hope that you will join us for a symphony of outstanding science, and to also take a little extra time to enjoy the spectacular and unique beauty of Brisbane City.

Topic: The path to LoKI & SANS at the ESS

Presenter: Dr Judith Houston, ESS, SE

Summary

As one of two small-angle neutron scattering beamlines under construction at the ESS, LoKI has been designed specifically with the needs of the soft matter, materials, and bio-science communities in mind. For example, its high flux and wide simultaneous Q-range will make it ideal for performing spatially-resolved and time-resolved studies.

In this talk, we want to take you through LoKI’s design, our progress with construction, and finally, give some highlights of the main scientific areas which are expected to benefit from this instrument.
