The facilities in brief:
ESS
ESS, currently under construction in Lund, Sweden, will be a multi-disciplinary research facility using the world’s most powerful neutron source, based on particle accelerators and spallation technology. ESS will provide neutron beams up to 100 times brighter than those currently available, which will enable groundbreaking research in a wide range of areas, including the environment, health, materials, and energy.

MAX IV
The MAX IV Laboratory is a synchrotron light facility, whose beamlines provide modern X-ray spectroscopy, scattering/diffraction, and imaging techniques. This is the world’s most brilliant synchrotron light source, capable of viewing material structures atom by atom. MAX IV facilitates discoveries of new structures at nano level, and scientists are able to monitor chemical processes in real time.
