Science at FemtoMAX

FemtoMAX beamline is now open for regular user calls! Driven by the linear accelerator at MAX IV, the FemtoMAX beamline is designed to study ultrafast structural dynamics. The method used…

ForMAX beamline: What is it and how to apply?

…to ForMAX. Our scientists and industrial users will share their experiences and findings based on the studies carried out at ForMAX. This is a free webinar open to all. Register…
