The ESS is a next-generation European neutron research facility in Lund, Sweden; our department “ESS Instrumentation” designs concepts for neutron scattering instruments there.
Using elastic and quasielastic neutron scattering methods we investigate the structure and internal dynamics of proteins to reveal the connection to their function.
Soft materials and liquids can form glasses. Using quasielastic and inelastic neutron scattering methods we investigate how molecular mobility and cooperativity control glass formation.
Using neutron scattering we investigate how local nano-scale ion/membrane mobilities determine ion conduction and performance of fuel cells and batteries.
Using neutron and X-ray scattering we study how soft interactions control the assembly of colloidal particles into crystalline and quasicrystalline phases and gels.
