European Spallation Source (ESS) is a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) that is constructing the world's most powerful neutron source. Their mission is to enable scientific breakthroughs in materials, energy, health, and the environment, addressing important societal challenges. The ESS facility, located in Lund, Sweden, will provide unique capabilities to researchers in various fields including materials and life sciences, energy, environmental technology, cultural heritage, and fundamental physics.

By utilizing advanced tools and visualization techniques, ESS allows scientists to study and understand basic atomic structures and forces, comparable to a giant microscope. The facility includes a powerful linear proton accelerator, a tungsten target wheel, state-of-the-art neutron instruments, laboratories, and a data management and software development center. ESS is a significant step forward in the science of everyday life, contributing to advancements that improve our everyday lives, health, and environment.

With a pan-European approach, ESS involves 13 European nations, and thousands of guest researchers from universities, institutes, and industry will conduct experiments at ESS each year
