ESRF

The ESRF (European Synchrotron Radiation Facility) is a large, advanced research center in France that produces intense X-ray beams. These X-rays are used by scientists to examine the detailed structure of materials, from biological samples to new materials, at the atomic or molecular level. The facility accelerates electrons to near light speed in a huge ring, then uses magnets to produce powerful X-rays. These beams help researchers understand materials better, leading to innovations in medicine, energy, and technology. The ESRF enables cutting-edge scientific discoveries by providing high-quality X-ray sources for research worldwide.
