Advanced Synchrotron Light Sources, such as the Advanced Light Source in Berkeley among many others, are scientific infrastructure giving access to thousands of users from around the globe to perform state of the art research on a wide variety of scientific fields. This presentation will overview the types of beamlines that are available and the planned upgrade of the ALS to continue to...
Development of next generation materials for applications in sustainable energy and beyond require us to study the structure of real materials in real devices even as they operate: for example, putting operating batteries in the beam, studying spatially resolved labs-on-chip, doing real-time autonomous experiments and using computed tomography to see diffraction from cross-sections of bulk...
Multi-disciplinary multi-user facilities like BESSY II, are intrinsically divers, welcoming scientists from around the globe and from a variety of research fields (including physics, chemistry, energy research, biology, medicine, cultural heritage, and more).
However, a look at the worldwide (science and education) landscape reveals a massive imbalance of possibilities. Inequality, poverty,...
Synchrotron-light sources are super microscopes with different sets of experimental techniques those are powerful enough to reveal the tiniest and the most vital details about matter in any form and for numerous applications in basic and applied science; such as physics, chemistry, biology, pharmaceuticals and biomedicine, materials science, environment, pollution and agriculture, industrial...

The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) has worked with industry from even before the first light was delivered in 1994. The ESRF’s Business Development...
X-ray computed tomography (XCT) has proven to be a very useful technique with applications in materials science on carbon fibre composites for example, lithium-ion battery research, in palaeontology and geology among many others. The resolution attainable in XCT is limited, however, ptychography is a lens less technique which can be used to obtain nanometre resolution and allows quantification...
In the vast majority of electrochemical devices, the reactions of interest occur at interfaces, where defects often serve to mediate the reaction pathway. In oxides, point defects, and in particular surface oxygen vacancies are generally the relevant defects in mediating electrocatalysis. Furthermore, surface defect formation energies are often lower than those of the bulk, resulting in defect...
Hyperspectral and morphomechanical analysis at Elettra provides a powerful platform for advancing life sciences research. By combining high-resolution topographic and mechanical imaging in physiological environments with detailed chemical mapping, Elettra facilitates studies that span from the molecular to the cellular and tissue levels, thereby deepening our understanding of biological...
Institute of Materials Structure Science located in Tsukuba, Japan, runs a synchrotron facility operating two synchrotron rings, Photon Factory (PF) and Photon Factory Advanced Ring (PF-AR). PF is operated with the beam energy of 2.5 GeV. PF-AR with 6.5 or 5.0 GeV provides higher energy regions. There are about 50 end stations including 6 x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) beamlines:...
The Advanced Laser Light Source (ALLS, alls.inrs.ca) is a unique laser-based infrastructure providing a coherent rainbow of light and cutting-edge end-stations to its national and international users from academia, government, and industry.
The national facility, located at INRS-EMT, close to Montreal in Quebec, Canada, is home of the most powerful laser in Canada with 750 TW and high...
