Synchrotron radiation is finding an increased number of applications in engineering and environmental science. The Engineering and Environmental Science Village brings together beamlines that enable the study of engineering materials and components, are capable of recreating the conditions of planetary interiors and can examine the properties of materials in realistic working conditions.
| I11 High resolution powder diffraction - a high resolution powder diffraction beamline for structural crystallography using an undulator source. This beamline specialises in investigating the structure of complex materials, including high temperature semiconductors, ceramics, alloys, zeolites and fullerines. |
| I12 JEEP: Joint Engineering, Environmental and Processing - a multi-purpose beamline for researchers and practitioners from engineering and materials science, imaging, process engineering and earth sciences. |
| I15 Extreme conditions - a very high energy beamline for single-crystal and powder diffraction. Researchers will use it for studying materials under extreme conditions such as high pressures and temperatures. Examples include studying the Earth's core and mantle and planetary interiors, very hard materials, electronic materials and biology in extreme environments. |
