New operational mode enables users to send powder samples for automated X-ray diffraction measurements of polycrystalline materials, expanding access to the beamline without the need to travel to CNPEM
Proposal submission will be open from August 25 to September 15, 2026. Researchers may be contacted by beamline coordinators for clarification and potential adjustments to the submitted proposals until September 29, 2026.
The first beamline of Sirius Phase 2 will be the world's first to perform terahertz nano-spectroscopy at a fourth-generation synchrotron light source.
The update increases the photon flux by up to seven times and allows the exploration of phenomena previously inaccessible with the RIXS technique
Study identifies key role played by genes in the balance between human nutritional needs and iron tolerance
Experimental protocol details challenges and solutions for the study of biocatalysts in beamlines with nanometric beams, such as Carnaúba, at Sirius
Experiments at the Carnaúba beamline of Sirius have allowed researchers to identify where hydrogen accumulates in platinum and palladium structures
Measurements obtained using several beamlines at Sirius provided strong evidence to classify fossil specimens of Spongiophyton nanum as a lichen, suggesting that these organisms strongly influenced the evolution of life in land environments
Research led by scientists at Sirius found these diamonds contain a hydrated compound that can reach thousands of kilometers deep
Updates to the submission form and evaluation process aim to make project assessment more agile and transparent
Leading global meeting of the X-ray microscopy community will take place from August 30 to September 4 at CNPEM
Of the 375 projects submitted, 119 were selected for development in the first half of 2026 on the Sirius beamlines
