ESS (European Spallation Source)

The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a state-of-the-art research facility being built in Sweden that produces intense beams of neutrons by splitting atoms (spallation). These neutrons are used by scientists worldwide to study the materials and structures of everything from new medicines to advanced electronics, helping us understand how things work at a microscopic level. Unlike traditional sources, ESS offers more powerful, precise neutron beams, enabling groundbreaking discoveries in science and engineering, ultimately leading to innovations that benefit society.
