SESAME (Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East)

SESAME (Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East) is a research facility that produces intense, precise beams of light called synchrotron radiation. This powerful light allows scientists to examine materials, biological samples, and chemical processes at a very detailed level, helping advance fields like medicine, environmental science, and archaeology. Located in Jordan, SESAME promotes scientific collaboration across the Middle East, fostering regional peace and development through shared research infrastructure. It’s an international effort to leverage advanced science to solve real-world problems and strengthen scientific ties among diverse nations.
