European XFEL launches new website featuring “Water” research

European XFEL has launched a new website featuring experimental campaigns of its topical call on “water” science

https://www.xfel.eu/science/water/index_eng.html

In early 2022, European XFEL launched a Call for Expressions of Interest in Molecular Water Science with the goal to attract new communities and to combine its unique X-ray infrastructure with the expertise of European and international partners in water related sciences. The call was prepared together with DESY’s Centre for Molecular Water Science (CMWS) and resulted in 25 proposals involving 209 scientists, 61 of them being first time proposers, with requests for all 6 European XFEL instruments. The proposals were peer-reviewed together with proposals submitted for other areas and the 7 top-ranked projects were accepted for beamtime in period 2023-I using reserved beamtime slots at the 6 instruments. One experiment was carried out in period 2023-II after resubmission.
