Light Sources are multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary in character, a researchers true “playground”. Our adventure starts with forefront research and our a model to develop the next generation in STEM.
The Center for Biomolecular Structure (CBMS), National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS II), Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), addresses a wide range of environmental and life scien

Over the past decade, the ALBA Synchrotron, the Spanish 3rd generation light source, has become an important pillar of the Spanish and European Research Area, providing research capabilities and a wide range of state-of-the-art instrumentation to a community of more than 6000 academic and industrial users. With its ten operating beamlines, while building three more, it is an essential tool for add

At the end of the XX Century, most investigations were focused on structural elucidation of large macromolecular complexes for applications in Medicine and Drug´s Design. Recently, techniques like X-ray diffraction, Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS), X-ray Powder Diffraction, Neutron and Electron Diffraction techniques have emerged to obtain the 3D structure of important biological macromolecul

An overview of the initiative to establish an Advanced Light Source in Mexico in the last two decades is presented. The technical, political and economic challenges that this project needs to overcome are summarized. So far, the last four federal administrations have had a variety of responses and answers to our proposal. Yet a handful high level politicians have endorsed the project, the most rec

SESAME (Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East) is a third-generation 2.5 GeV synchrotron light source in Allan (Jordan) that was officially opened on 16 May 2017. It is the Middle East's first major international research centre and has been hosting users for experiments at its beamlines since July 2018. It is a cooperative venture by scientists and governm

Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) is a powerful technique that is used to obtain structural information of both ordered and disordered biological molecules at low resolution. It provides information about the size and shape of proteins and complexes, as well as about structural changes that occur at different experimental conditions [1]. SAXS requires small (milligram) amounts of purified and mo

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic the Elettra synchrotron radiation source and the FERMI free-electron laser were able to continue operation without any interruption. The reduced mobility of European users, however, has substantially affected the number of proposed experiments that could be carried out. Increased reliance on sample mail-in with experiments carried out by the facility staff for the ext

In hard condensed-matter-physics, there are hot topics that have been developed during the last twenty years: multiferroic materials, low dimensional magnetism, topological insulators, skyrmions, etc. In order to understand the microscopic physical behaviour of this kind of materials, the precise knowledge of the crystal and magnetic structure as a function of temperature or external fields is of

Various applications of synchrotron light to the investigation of the structure-properties relationship in polycrystalline functional materials are described.
The first part of the presentation is devoted to structural analysis using various experiments with synchrotron light. High resolution diffraction experiments are shown to clarify crystal symmetry, two-dimensional diffraction measurements t

Complex questions such as understanding mechanisms of metal homeostasis in biological systems can be addressed through use of hybrid methods which enable studies at different length and time scales. These approaches may involve complementary use of techniques like macromolecular crystallography which yields the structure at atomic resolution together. with spectroscopic imaging which may provide s

How did Rembrandt produce his impastos? Why some of the chrome yellows used by van Gogh in the Sunflowers do not show their original colour? Did Egyptian and Roman crafstmen use the same methods to produce opacified glasses? These are typically questions to which chemical analyses can contribute to answer.
Indeed, the application of analytical chemistry to decipher the composition and state of c

This talk will attempt to see into the future of synchrotron data collection with a focus on macromolecular crystallography (MX) but not forgetting other fields of research which are enabled by synchrotron radiation. MX is a field with a nearly 90 year history of which the last 50 years have included work at synchrotron X-ray sources. To enlighten my futuristic crystal ball, I will take a brief re
