The Centre for X-ray and Nano Science (CXNS) is an interdisciplinary platform for research with X-ray light in combination with nano and material sciences. The CXNS offers ideal conditions for nano and materials research with photons and complementary methods.
High-tech laboratories with complementary and networked analysis and research methods are concentrated here in one place. They are also linked to the DESY large-scale research facilities. The following facilities and collaborations form the CXNS:
- DESY NanoLab
- German Engineering Materials Science Centre of the Helmholtz-Center Hereon (GEMS)
- Parts of the Ruprecht Haensel Laboratory at Kiel University
- Center for Integrated Multiscale Materials Systems - an interdisciplinary cooperation between DESY and Hamburg University of Technology
- a branch of the Leibniz Institute for Crystal Growth
