One type behaves as we would expect ‘normal’ electrons to behave in magnetic fields, but the other variety is very unusual and appears to be incoherent. It’s potentially very [...]

Analytical Research Infrastructures of Europe (ARIE)  just released a joint position paper addressing potential viral and microbial threats. This way, the consortium enhances its cross-border, multidisciplinary collaboration to offer Europe a strong and valid weapon against the present COVID-19 challenge and other possible, similar future crises. The ARIEs are centers of scientific and technological excellence, delivering services, data and expertise to a growing and diverse user community of more than 40,000 researchers in academia and industry, across a range of domains: the physical sciences, energy, engineering, the environment and the earth sciences, as well as medicine, health, food [...]

EMFL is proud to be part of the Analytical Research Infrastructures of Europe (ARIEs) consortium. Recently, we published a joint position paper highlighting how a common, complementary approach will strengthen the European analytical research infrastructures collectively and will address societal challenges of the Horizon Europe Missions framework programme. The ARIEs are centers of scientific and technological excellence, delivering services, data and expertise to a growing and diverse user community of more than 40,000 researchers in academia and industry, across a range of domains: the physical sciences, energy, engineering, the environment and the earth sciences, as well as medicine, health, [...]
