Canadian Light Source (CLS)

The Canadian Light Source (CLS) is a large scientific facility in Saskatchewan that produces extremely bright X-ray and ultraviolet light. Scientists use this light to study the structure and properties of materials, such as proteins, minerals, and advanced electronics. Think of it as a high-powered microscope that reveals details invisible to the naked eye. The CLS helps researchers in medicine, agriculture, energy, and other fields to develop new technologies and understand the fundamental nature of materials, contributing to innovations and solutions to complex scientific challenges.
