KuR is a group within the Laboratory for Neutron Scattering (LNS), a joint venture of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) and the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), department Condensed Matter Research with Neutrons and Muons (NUM).

We run the dedicated user instruments at the spallation neutron source SINQ:
	- SANS I	small angle scattering	6.10-4 Å-1 < q < 1.05 Å-1, polarisation
	- SANS II	small angle scattering	2.10-3 Å-1 < q < 0.35 Å-1
	- AMOR	vertical TOF reflectometer	polarisation option
	- ECHO	USANS, double crystal diffractometer	option on Morpheus
and the test / in-house beamlines
	- Morpheus	polarised 4-circle diffractometer	test instrument
	- Narziss	polarised reflectometer	in-house, neutron optics

We are doing research in various fields connected to hard and soft condensed matter physics. We focus on structure and dynamics in materials with relevant length scales in the nm-range.
Here are some examples:

• Nanomagnetic Structures
• Nano-Capsule Dispersions as Drug Carrier
• Polymer surface submicro-dots and colloidal covering
• Adsorption of Biomolecules at Interfaces
• Multilayers
• Magnetic induction at interfaces
• Improvement of Fe/Si based neutron polarisers
• Concepts to tailor the interface quality in neutron optical devices
• Structure of Proteins in Solution
• Domain Structure in Polymer Membranes for Fuel Cells
• Microgels
• Melting of crystals in 2D
• Nucleation and growth of colloidal crystals
