synchrotron-based techniques

Synchrotron-based techniques use a large, powerful machine called a synchrotron to produce intense, focused beams of X-rays and light. These beams can be directed at materials to reveal detailed information about their structure, composition, and properties at the molecular or atomic level. By analyzing how the material interacts with the X-rays, scientists can study everything from biological tissues and minerals to new materials and chemicals, providing insights essential for research and development across many fields. The process is precise, non-destructive, and allows for high-resolution examination of complex samples.
