  The Complex System and Biomedical Sciences (CBS) group at the European
Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble is dedicated to the study of
a broad family of materials and systems, including soft and hard condensed
matter, nanomaterials, and biological materials. The main experimental methods
used for this purpose are X-ray diffraction, reflectivity, scattering, photon
correlation spectroscopy, and time-resolved X-ray scattering/diffraction. After
a recent and successful Extremely Brilliant Source (EBS) upgrade, the Grenoble
synchrotron has become the first of the 4th generation high energy facilities,
which offers unprecedented beam parameters for its user community, bringing new
experimental opportunities for the exploration of the nanoscale structure,
kinetics, and dynamics of a myriad of systems. In this contribution, we present
the impact of the recent upgrade on the selected beamlines in the CBS group and
a summary of recent scientific activities after the facility reopening.
