<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
