#.Outreach activities: Laurence Bouchenoire took part in a Jobs & Careers Forum organised by a local secondary school.

After a presentation of her career pathway, she described her job as a Beamline Scientist at XMaS/BM28 @esrf.fr . Inspiration for both ♂️ and ♀️.

📢1st Materials BAG at XMaS/BM28 @esrf.fr 🎊

Efficient beam time to run EXAFS across the Mn, Ni, Fe and Zr K-edges and Ir L3 edge in transmission mode. 😅

A big 🙏 to Maria Alfredsson from the Uni. of Kent Chemistry who coordinated all the samples and run the experiment with us!!

#spectroscopy

🎉 We started Year 2025 going very soft!

Scientists from #IMEC 🇧🇪 used XMaS/BM28 to explore doping in semiconductors with XANES at the Phosphorus edge (2.15 keV). Working along the semiconductor roadmap for 3D CMOS architectures…

15/01/25:

XMaS Users meeting at the University of Warwick 🇬🇧.

A big 🙏 to all our speakers who gave very nice presentations of their work carried out on the beamline. A 👍 day to discuss potential experiments with people who never used XMaS before and to foster new collaborations between groups.

📢 Hello to the Bluesky community! 🎉

Let us introduce ourselves: the XMaS beamline is a project funded by EPSRC and co-directed by the Universities of Warwick and Liverpool in 🇬🇧. The beamline is located at BM28 at the ESRF, the European Synchrotron 🇫🇷 @esrf.fr 🔬🩻⚛️🧪
