Our magazine for synchrotron users | Spring 2016

Welcome to the spring issue!

With the release of Diamond’s 10-Year Vision in October last year, the impact of stakeholder consultation was clear to see in steering Diamond towards identifying its long-term goals and how to achieve them. Demonstrating impact is paramount, and in this issue we report on some of the recent milestones and achievements seen through our science.

In the spirit of consultation, we’re also asking our readers for some feedback to help us make sure this publication, Diamond News, is hitting the mark. Not everyone likes doing surveys, so we hope to entice you with the chance to win an Apple or Android tablet for those who take part.

On the milestones front...    read the rest of Isabelle's editorial for the spring issue

Head of Communications

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

Editor: David Johns.
