A Western University team has harnessed the bright light of the Canadian Light Source at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) to obtain highly detailed images of the structures in the inner ear ...

Synchrotron radiation is very intense, highly collimated and tunable, and can be polarized and pulsed, enabling time-resolved measurements. Synchrotron techniques can therefore be used to probe the ...

For the first time, researchers can study the microstructures inside metals, ceramics and rocks with X-rays in a standard laboratory without needing to travel to a particle accelerator, according to ...

Synchrotron light, the highly prized output from a synchrotron (a particular type of particle accelerator), is an extremely powerful investigative tool in many fields of science and technology. Once ...

Synchrotron light gets its name from the synchrotron particle accelerators where it was first observed. Synchrotron radiation is the light emitted by charged particles as they accelerate—whether ...
