Machine learning has been used by scientists in the US to reduce unwanted fluctuations in photon beams from a synchrotron light source. ... One possible application would be acquiring complex 3D maps ...

New synchrotron sources are being commissioned and built around the globe, with an emphasis on developing countries. Given the obvious benefits, the trend is encouraging.

Scientists are advancing plans for Africa’s first synchrotron light source, a particle accelerator that produces intense radiation used to probe the structure and behaviour of matter at the ...

A synchrotron is a source of bright light used to examine matter too small to be observed by microscopes. By using X-rays to map cells, researchers are capable of drawing conclusions about ...

The National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), which will be built at Brookhaven National Laboratory, will come online in 2015 and cost $912m. It will have 58 beamlines, which will provide ...

The head of the U.S. Department of Energy and local officials formally dedicated Brookhaven National Laboratory’s $912 million Synchrotron Light Source II.

Japanese researchers experimentally verified a new technique to control and manipulate ultrafast electronic motion with a synchrotron light source. With their study published on June 11 in ...

The UK's national synchrotron facility - the Diamond Light Source near Oxford - is to become a world centre for studying the structure of viruses and bacteria that cause serious disease.
