New multidisciplinary research centre in Sweden and Denmark - Information Centre - Research & Innovation - European Commission
With its main research facility in Lund, Sweden, and a data management and software centre in Copenhagen, Denmark, the ESS is a multidisciplinary, pan-European research project. Its focal point is the world's most powerful neutron source, the beams of which can reach intensities up to 100 times higher than those of existing facilities.
The source acts like a large microscope, making it possible to monitor material structures and motions at molecular level. This should lead to advances in fields as varied as life sciences, environmental technology, energy, transport, engineering, physics, chemistry and archaeology.
