Diamond Light Source, the UK’s synchrotron, is one of the world’s most advanced scientific machines; that’s why it’s a pretty big job making sure Diamond stays ahead of the curve. Construction is still ongoing at the synchrotron, and every year we deliver new and innovative facilities to support scientists at the cutting-edge of research.
For Burkhard and his team, the most exciting thing about having a new beamline to work with is the prospect of returning to the frontline of science: “I am delighted to get back into the heart of scientific research. Diamond attracts some of the world’s best minds and most innovative research. What we do here helps to bring about real benefits to society, and it is extremely gratifying to be a part of that. But we do not stop here and will intensify now our work on building a novel soft X-ray diffraction microscope that complements the I08 scanning X-ray microscope and will bring the beamline even further.” Hear, hear Burkhard, and I08: welcome to the fold.
Diamond Light Source is the UK's national synchrotron science facility, located at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire.
