We're starting our @STFC_Matters #DayInTheLife feature today at HRPD with sample changeover. We'll be going round the target stations all day so get in touch if you'd like us to pop in and say hi!
Sample change on MARI involves a quick blow-dry to warm up and then on with the next battery material!
Meanwhile there's some fluoronites being craned into PEARL by @giarc1bull and @r1dley
And it's all hands on deck on GEM loading their samples
Then we popped in to see @BostonBecky, @AcadeNik and @danZiggyM on Polaris - looking very pleased with last night's measurements!
And don't forget the main control room!
And a new cryostat is being tested on MuSR ahead of an experiment on a superconducting material tomorrow
On HiFi they're looking at possible spin liquids - this is their next sample. The current one is in the machine at 50 milli-Kelvin!
The LET user team is down to one person thanks to #COVID19 travel restrictions. He's measuring quantum spin liquids on behalf of his colleagues before finally getting to measure his own after 3 weeks of beamtime!
And from spin liquids to planet formation, Vincent explains how they make space ice to be studied on NIMROD
Our WISH users are measuring the magnetic properties of uranium thin films. Long scans and pretty chilled researchers!
We've got returning users on Larmor continuing their work on Neutron entanglement, which we recently featured as a science highlight isis.stfc.ac.uk/Pages/SH20_Mic…
Over to ChipIr and some electronic chips being bombarded with neutrons to check their resilience to single event effects
For the second ever time on ZOOM we have users studying thin films using both SANS and reflectometry - they're hoping to get information about the magnetic domains in their thin films
Just popped into Merlin for a quick Quantum Spin Liquid explained from Suvam
And a snap of the amino acids that @GiovaRomanelli and his collaborators are studying on Vesuvio
And to finish, here's @Alex_J_Porter_ having some fun in the lab while their scan on OSIRIS collects data about their MOF
