Forschungszentrum Jülich - Neutron Scattering (JCNS-1/IBI-8)

We investigate the structure and dynamics of soft matter using neutron scattering and complementary methods, develop neutron scattering instruments and make them available to external researchers through the JCNS.

With close of research reactors, landscape is shifting for Europe’s world-leading neutron science community

Three neutron science research reactors in Europe have ceased operations in 2019. The League of advanced European Neutron Sources, LENS, and the European Neutron Scattering Association, ENSA, warn of a “neutron gap” that could impact scientific research across multiple fields in physics, materials science, chemistry, biology, medical science and engineering.
