ESSProject description
Quantum matter is a class of materials having great potential for technological applications, ranging from MRIs at hospitals to hard disk drives. Understanding their fundamental properties in various environmental conditions is essential to implement them in our everyday lives. In this regard, a new uniaxial stress device for neutron scattering experiments is being developed for the BIFROST instrument at the future European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund – Sweden. The aim is to explore, with exceptional precision, quantum materials on the molecular level under extreme conditions.
