<span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(36, 36, 36);">The use of neutrons for materials science discovery has been imperative in advancing societal and technical challenges. In particular, neutron scattering is a powerful and
versatile technique used to probe the structure and dynamics of materials at the atomic and molecular scale. The unique properties of the neutron offers information that other techniques might miss due to the neutron’s unique interaction with matter. The Neutron
Scattering GRC will highlight the latest advances in scientific domains as diverse as advanced energy materials and biological macromolecules. In recent years there have been vast improvements in neutron scattering instrumentation with novel beam transport
and detection technologies in conjunction with sample environments that enable operando, real sample, and time dependent experiments. These developments, in combination with the introduction of artificial intelligence, will provide a paradigm shift in scientific
advances through neutron scattering. The Neutron Scattering GRC will showcase cutting-edge technical advancements as the foundation of groundbreaking scientific discoveries. The neutron scattering community has experienced significant growth, particularly
in Asia and Oceania, including Australia. Upgraded and new neutron scattering facilities are now envisaged worldwide. The Neutron Scattering GRC will enable the exchange of ideas and opportunities amongst these different neutron global communities. It will
provide an excellent opportunity to share the latest scientific and technical breakthroughs while fostering collaborations that will strengthen and advance our international and interdisciplinary neutron scattering community.</span></p>
