New capabilities at NSLS-II set to advance materials science
(PHYSorg.com Physics)

By channeling the intensity of x-rays, synchrotron light sources can reveal the atomic structures of countless materials. Researchers from around the world come to the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II)-a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility at DOE`s Brookhaven National Laboratory-to study everything from proteins to fuel cells. NSLS-II`s ultra-bright x-rays and suite of state-of-the-art characterization tools make the facility one of the most advanced synchrotron light sources in the world. Now, NSLS-II has enhanced those capabilities even further.
