National Synchrotron Light Source

The National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) is a research facility that produces extremely bright and focused beams of light, including X-rays and ultraviolet rays, using electrons accelerated to high energies. Scientists use these light sources to examine the detailed structure of materials at the atomic and molecular level, helping to advance knowledge in fields like medicine, physics, chemistry, and engineering. The NSLS enables researchers to conduct experiments that reveal how materials behave, develop new substances, or understand biological processes, contributing to technological innovations and scientific progress.
