ESS lighthouse on hard materials in 3D (Image is present)
About the project
Hard materials are essential ingredients in the solution for many of society’s most outstanding issues within e.g. energy, production and CO2 storage. Most hard materials have a complex internal structure that extends across length scales from nanometers to centimeter. A major research challenge is therefore to understand and tailor the materials' internal structure on various scales, as strength, efficiency, storage capacity etc. thereby can be radically changed. The vision of our center of excellence is to visualize the internal structure of such materials, their creation and change in use – in 3D and on all the relevant length and time scales.
SOLID is a cross-disciplinary center that seeks to exploit the strong synergy in methods and science across materials science, geoscience, bone research, forensics and archeology. To enable the 3D visualization the group is engaged in building instruments at the world's most powerful neutron and X-ray sources, ESS in Lund and ESRF in Grenoble, and is in charge of two national X-ray infrastructures, DanMAX at MAX IV and DANFIX at DTU as well as the regional data analysis center QIM supplying the advanced data analysis required.
SOLID also serves a Danish competence center for neutron and X-ray imaging in general, with extensive collaboration with industry.
Type of project
Center of Excellence funded by the Danish Agency for Science and Higher Education.
