European Spallation Source

The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a major research facility located in Lund, Sweden, designed to produce neutrons for scientific experiments. It uses a process called spallation, where high-energy protons collide with a target material to create neutrons. Researchers use these neutrons to study the structure and properties of materials at the atomic level, which can lead to advancements in various fields, including medicine, materials science, and energy. The ESS aims to enhance our understanding of the universe and improve the development of new technologies through cutting-edge neutron research.
