Hub for materials development for recycling A new EU-funded project aiming to use 50 analytical research infrastructures, including the ESRF, to design new materials that are both competitively functional and highly recyclable launched in September. ReMade@ARI is focused on leveraging the development of innovative and sustainable materials for the circular economy.

8th ESRF-ILL Summer School On 4 September, students from around the world joined the 8th international student summer programme organised by the ESRF and the ILL. Students followed a series of introductory lectures on the principles and applications of X-ray and neutron science and worked on scientific projects, tutored by ESRF or ILL scientists.

ID29 welcomes first users The brand-new serial synchrotron crystallography beamline, ID29, one of the EBS s flagship beamlines, welcomed its first users in October, for three different experiments. They all focused on ways of scanning thousands of minuscule crystals (smaller than 10 microns) effectively with the new, powerful EBS beam.

German State Secretary inaugurates beamline BM18 On 25 October 2022, Mario Brandenburg, the Parliamentary State Secretary to the German Federal Minister of Education and Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, or BMBF) inaugurated BM18, the new EBS flagship beamline for hierarchical tomography using phase-contrast. Taking full advantage of the EBS, the 220-m-long beamline, equipped with the world s largest synchrotron sample stage, will revolutionise scientific imaging, with applications in health and bio-imaging, materials science and new materials for industry, palaeontology and archaeology, as well as geosciences.
