KFN stategy paper published, December 10, 2020 - printed version Feb. 2021
 |
The German Committee Research with Neutrons (KFN) has published its recommendations for neutron research in Germany in a strategy paper. On 22 pages, it is shown why neutron scattering is an indispensable method, what can be done with neutrons and what the optimal conditions for successful neutron research look like. The brochure has been published digitally in advance and can be ordered as a printed copy. [more] |

Prof. Dr. Martin Müller now also represents MLZ in the KFN, Feb. 04, 2021
 |
Since January, Prof. Dr. Martin Müller has been the new director at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ), succeeding Prof. Dr. Stephan Förster in the role. A materials physicist, he now represents the Helmholtz partners Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) and Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht (HZG) in the Scientific Directorate of the MLZ. By rotation, Martin Müller will also be the spokesman of the directorate for a period of two years. Martin Müller has been involved in the KFN for a long time; he has represented the HZG in this body since 2016, and now also the MLZ. [more] |

Call for contributions to a special issue of the journal "Applied Sciences", deadline is April 30, 2021
|
You are invited to submit a contribution to a Special Issue on Recent Advances in Small-Angle Neutron Scattering in the Journal Applied Sciences. Small-Angle Neutron scattering as a method is extremely versatile, which is mirrored both in the experimental concepts and sample environments that are available for it, as well as the range of scientific fields employing SANS. In order create a comprehensive overview over the most recent advances, both on the instrument technology side as well as the experimental side, there will be a dedicated special issue. [more]
