Speaker: Prof Henrik M. Rønnow, EPFL
Abstract: The field of quantum magnetism form an arena where theoretical models and experiments on real materials meet to further our understanding of quantum many body physics. I will illustrate the unique role of neutron scattering through results on selected Cu2+ based materials serving as physical realizations of fundamental low-dimensional spin ½ models…

Speaker: Nadine Biedenkopf, the Institute of Virology, Philipps-University Marburg
Abstract: Fifty years after the simultaneous discovery of Ebola virus and Sudan virus in 1976, filoviruses continue to pose a critical threat to global health security, a reality underscored by the ongoing Bundibugyo virusoutbreak in the DRC and Uganda since May 2026. Deciphering core replication mechanisms is essential for identifying…

Speaker: Marjolein Thunnissen, Life Science Advisor MAX IV, Lund University, Sweden Abstract: When considering how synchrotrons contribute to virology research, structure determination of viral proteins and entire capsids is often the first application that comes to mind. However, synchrotron facilities provide a much broader…

Speaker: Stergios Zarkogiannis, Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research Abstract: Planktonic foraminifera are single-celled marine organisms that build calcite shells and have done so since the Jurassic (~200 Ma). Their shells preserve a rich archive of past ocean conditions through geochemical…

Speaker: Lars-Anders Carlson, Umeå University, Sweden Abstract: Many arthropod-borne pathogens are positive-sense RNA viruses. Such viruses replicate their RNA on remodelled cytoplasmic membranes, in membrane-bound viral replication organelles. These replication organelles frequently take the shape…
