The world's first dedicated X-ray synchrotron radiation storage ring, the Synchrotron Radiation Source or SRS (Fig. 1), is closing down this autumn after 27 years of operation. Designed ...

To overcome this problem, Rigaku engineers have developed an X-ray diffraction system that brings synchrotron-like capabilities into a researcher’s own laboratory. Called SmartLab, the new ...

Combining microbeam radiotherapy with targeted radiosensitizers could treat tumours while sparing normal brain tissues ...

Scientists led by the Institute of Nanotechnology in Italy, in collaboration with the ESRF, the European Synchrotron in Grenoble, France, have discovered how X-ray micro- and nano- tomography can ...

Peter Cloetens, ESRF scientist, during the experiments at the European synchrotron ID16A beamline. The technique called nano- and micro X-ray phase-contrast tomography (XPCT), used at the ESRF, is a ...

The achievement takes advantage of improvements to synchrotron X-ray light sources, a type of X-ray produced using a particle accelerator that was invented in the mid-twentieth century.

Our research group is specialized in the study of materials with the help of X-rays. We have a strong tradition in X-ray spectroscopy and materials science. Our wide variety of in-house and ...

Today, detection systems made by large arrays of sensors are used to markedly improve the throughput in laboratory- or synchrotron-based experiments, employing micro- or nano-focused excitation X ray ...
