About ESS
 
The European Spallation Source is a project to design and construct a next generation facility for research with neutrons.

Neutrons can see inside the material: they penetrate deep into matter, and reveal "where atoms are and what atoms do". ESS will be a fantastic and the brightest source of neutrons that will be used for experiments to look inside the materials. It will be the best neutron source world-wide for practically all classes of instruments.

ESS will provide much more intensity than the present neutron sources, brighter neutrons beams that, with a suite of more than 40 neutron scattering instruments, will enable scientist of all disciplines investigating material in situ, in vivo, in real time and for real life applications. This will have enormous positive consequences for society, industry and technology.
