The Smithsonian Institution and Synchrotron Soleil of France announced a new partnership between the organizations to use the power of the third-generation synchrotron to study and preserve priceless ...

The synchrotron emits 'synchrotron light' which can be captured and shot towards scientific samples to find chemical compositions, like the inside of a rock or portraits that have been painted over.

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

Scientists used powerful X-rays to see mineral “shadows” where blood once flowed through vessels in a Tyrannosaurus rex rib.

Biological questions that involve determining changes in protein structure that occur in solution may be answered using small-angle X-ray scattering. This protocol describes the sample preparation ...

Synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence microscopy can provide spatial distribution and quantification of ions in samples ranging in length from mm to submicron. This article will discuss the advantages, ...

A cancer-causing protein long thought to be resistant to medication could soon be the target of new drugs, thanks to the work of Quebec researchers who used synchrotron light to find and exploit ...

Discover how HAXPES enables non-destructive analysis of buried layer chemistry in semiconductors with exclusive insights from ...

Synchrotron study shows how nitric oxide kills Date: December 12, 2010 Source: University of California - Davis Summary: Nitric oxide is a toxic pollutant, but the human body also creates it and ...

The effort to build a synchrotron - a large accelerator that generates X-rays for research - in Africa is gaining momentum, a US conference hears.

Shining light: the Extremely Brilliant Source, or ESRF-EBS, boosts the brilliance and coherence of the X-ray beams at the facility by around a factor of 100 over its predecessor. (Courtesy: ESRF/S ...
