Abstract

More than 500 scientists working in the field of condensed matter research convened for a three-day meeting (SNI2006) in Hamburg, Germany, to present their latest results. They all share an enthusiasm for the use of large-scale facilities to probe the structure and dynamics of matter. The potential of synchrotron radiation, neutrons, particle probes and ionic beams to provide unique and complementary information in areas ranging from DNA to mechanical welds was demonstrated.
