synchrotron

Synchrotron is a type of electromagnetic radiation produced when charged particles, such as electrons, are accelerated to near the speed of light and forced to move along curved paths using magnetic fields. As they change direction rapidly, they emit energy across a broad spectrum, from radio waves to X-rays. This process is harnessed in scientific facilities called synchrotrons, which use powerful magnets and high-energy beams to produce intense, focused light for advanced research in materials, biology, and physics.
