We are pleased to announce that pre-registations for the SFN school on TOF spectroscopy are now open. The school will take place 7-10th of December 2026 at the Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble. The objective of this school is to accompany the French neutron community towards the use of Time-of-flight spectrometers in spallation sources, and especially in preparation for the use of the upcoming instruments suite at the ESS. This school is addressed to participants (permanent and non-permanent) who are already familiar with neutron spectroscopy. To ensure a high pedagogical quality and interactions during tutorials and practicals, attendance will be limited to 30 participants. Selection will be based on a short CV and brief statement of motivation. Priority will be given to participants from the French community but registration may be extended to international users depending on attendance. Please submit your application before October 16th 2026. Full details, including important dates, registration information and program are available on the website (which is now working) : https://workshops.ill.fr/e/SFN2ESS For any questions, please contact us at : SFN2ESS@ill.fr Looking forward to seeing you in Grenoble, The organizing committee on behalf of the SFN Victor Balédent Dalila Bounoua Stéphane Longeville Stéphane Rols Manila Songvilay

Room 110/111 in ILL50 The TRIXIE neutron imaging instrument was developed and constructed at the LVR-15 research reactor in Řež near Prague, Czech Republic, as a collaboration between the Czech Technical University in Prague, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin and the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (FRM II). The project started in 2022 with the aim of establishing a versatile facility for thermal neutron radiography and tomography and providing new opportunities for national and international users.The instrument was commissioned in 2025 and became fully operational in 2026. This contribution presents th…

Layer-by-layer self-assembled structures of the blood-clotting glycoprotein fibrinogen have been resolved at a fluid interface using neutron reflectometry and complementary techniques to reveal an unexpected mechanism that contradicts a long-established adsorption model. The widely accepted monolayer tilt model, inferred over two decades ago from ellipsometry data, involves progressive tilting of a monolayer of fibrinogen molecules from parallel with the interface with increasing interfacial coverage until, at saturation, the molecules adopt a more vertical conformation.Our new structural fra…

MDANSE is a three-day, hands-on workshop where participants work through both the conceptual foundations and practical workflows behind calculating dynamical and vibrational properties of materials. Density functional theory, lattice dynamics, and classical molecular dynamics will be used to generate realistic simulated data, including inelastic and quasi-elastic neutron scattering spectra. The computational toolkit ASE is also introduced as part of the curriculum.

The 10th International Topical Meeting on Neutron Radiography (ITMNR-10) will be held in Village Club Les Balcons du Lac d'Annecy, France, from October 12-16, 2026. This will be the 10th conference in the ITMNR series being coordinated by the International Society for Neutron Radiography (ISNR). The meetings are an international gathering of researchers, students and users who are interested in neutron imaging (radiography and tomography) and its applications.The special focus of ITMNR-10 is "Neutron Imaging for the Challenges of Tomorrow". Topical sessions will cover the following …
