  5. Focus on Phase III

One of the most exciting things about Diamond is that it is a catalyst for change. The facility is changing the world through the scientific discoveries its users and in-house researchers are making and, at the same time, changing itself through a continual programme of upgrades, new beamlines, and complementary off-line facilities. In October 2010, the UK Government confirmed funding for Phase III, to provide for the design, procurement, construction and commissioning of a further ten state-of-the-art beamlines.
