%X Imagine what we would know – or better: would not know – about the microscopic structure and dynamics of condensed matter if geniuses like Ernest Rutherford (Nobel Prize 1908), Max von Laue (Nobel Prize 1914), son and father William Lawrence and William Henry Bragg (Nobel Prize 1915), Clifford G. Shull (Nobel Prize 1994) and Bertram N. Brookhouse (Nobel Prize 1994) and many others would not have invented scattering as a most powerful tool for condensed matter science; scattering with x-rays, neutrons and electrons, which “tell us where atoms are and how they move” (C. G. Shull). Would we be able to build smartphones, produce high-performance plastic materials, modern energy harvesting and energy storage devices or cure diseases with carefully designed pharmaceuticals without the understanding of the microscopic world gained through scattering methods? Much of the amenities we have become accustomed to are based on research with scattering methods. Information on the atomic length scale is provided mainly through x-ray, neutron and electron scattering- and microscopy. To achieve a deeper look into this fascinating microscopic world, large scale facilities have been constructed based on synchrotron x-ray- and neutron radiation sources. With the x-ray free electron laser in Hamburg, Germany, and the European Spallation Source in Lund, Sweden, Europe hosts and will host worldwide leading facilities in this important research field. Groundbreaking research is being performed at such facilities in a very broad range of research areas in physics, chemistry, life science, geoscience, material science and engineering. The range of materials, structures, phenomena, and processes, which can be studied, is unlimited. Experimental methods have been developed which span an incredible range of length- and time-scales from picometer to meter and from femtoseconds to hours. Doing experiments at these large-scale facilities is an especially exciting aspect of research for young scientists. Not only do they obtain unique microscopic information on structure, excitations and dynamics of condensed matter, but from the start they are familiarized with cutting edge technology and with work in an international collaboration.
