Smallangles.org is the community portal for Small Angle Scattering (SAS) — a family of powerful experimental techniques used to study the structure of matter at the nanoscale. SAS techniques include Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS), Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS), and related methods used across biology, chemistry, physics, materials science, and engineering.
This portal is a project of canSAS — Collective Action for Nomadic Small Angle Scatterers — an international community initiative working to improve access to SAS techniques, promote common data standards, and support the global SAS user community.
Portal Purpose
Smallangles.org aims to be the central reference point for the global SAS community, providing:
- A comprehensive, up-to-date directory of SAS facilities and instruments worldwide
- A curated catalogue of SAS analysis software
- Educational resources for newcomers and experienced practitioners
- An events calendar and proposal deadline tracker
- Community news, awards, and announcements
