A message from the IUCr Commission on Small-Angle Scattering:

Dear Small-Angle Scatterers,

The Commission on Small-Angle Scattering of the International Union of Crystallography (http://www.iucr.org/iucr/commissions/small-angle-scattering) hereby solicits applications from scientific institutions to host a forthcoming International Small-Angle Scattering Conference in 2021.

At the 13th Executive Committee Meeting of the Asia-Oceania Neutron Scattering Association, held in Serpong, Indonesia on October 16, 2014, it was announced that the recipient of the 2015 AONSA Prize is Prof John White of the Australian National University, and a former Director of the ILL (1981-1982).

The 16th International Conference on Small-Angle Scattering will be held in Berlin, 13 - 18 September, 2015.

The 15th International Small-Angle Scattering conference (SAS-2012, 18 - 23 November 2012) was held in the beautiful city of Sydney, Australia. The Proceedings are published. The complete reference is:

Proceedings of the 15th International Small-Angle Scattering Conference, Sydney, Australia, 18-23 November 2012, editors Duncan J. McGillivray, Jill Trewhella, Elliot P. Gilbert and Tracey L. Hanley, ANSTO, ISBN 1 921268 15 8 (2012).

On 3 July 2012 the 66th General Assembly of the United Nations adopted a resolution to make 2014 the International Year of Crystallography (IYCr 2014), marking 100 years since the award of the Nobel Prize to Max von Laue. Small-angle scatterers around the world are encouraged to promote the contribution of their technique to the determination of (macro-)molecular level structure.

Protein from Moringa seeds can be used to purify water with natural materials. SANS and USANS measurements show how the process can be optimised.

Otto Glatter is awarded the medal for his lifelong contributions to the development of scattering techniques and their application to colloidal systems.

Particle and Particle Systems Characterisation: Small-Angle Scattering (SAS) Applications is the title of a new book by Wilfried Gille due to be published by CRC Press at the end of November.

Aimed at students and experts alike, it incorporates an exercise chapter and Mathematica programs.
