Our magazine for synchrotron users |Autumn 2015

The autumn 2015 issue has landed

As we head towards the end of 2015 we can reflect on a very productive year so far. We’ve seen first light on B24, first data for I23, and the installation of the B07 endstation on I09’s soft X-ray branch. We’ve passed milestones in data volumes, and published almost 3,600 papers since opening to users in 2007. Since our last issue a new government has been formed, and with the science spending review underway Andrew Harrison outlines the collaborative and adaptable approach to funding being taken to ensure Diamond reaches its full potential.

In this issue we catch up with some of the facilities recently to have come online or ramp up their throughput. The new Krios cryo-electron microscope is now available for users to investigate the structure of individual cells and to visualise single biomolecules. We have news from the Solution State SAXS beamline B21, I12’s new rig for in situ high-force testing on metal samples, and MX news on the fragment screening service and I03’s new sample-changing robot, which allows for a much higher number of samples over a 24hr period.

Read the rest of Isabelle's editorial for the autumn issue...

We would like to thank the authors and all colleagues who contributed to this publication.

Editor: David Johns.
