synchrotron science

Synchrotron light sources are among the most advanced tools for scientific research, producing high-intensity, tunable beams of X-rays, infrared, and ultraviolet light.

Synchrotron science shines across disciplines, illuminating a pathway for scientific discoveries. Synchrotrons use synchrotron radiation, which is produced when charged particles, typically electrons, are accelerated to nearly the speed of light in a circular or spiral path by strong magnetic fields. This process generates intense beams of light that cover a broad spectrum, from infrared to X-rays.
