The next Inside Diamond open day will feature stalls and activities, a short introduction to Diamond and a tour of the machine. We expect the visit will last around two and a half hours. Booking for open days opens 6-8 weeks in advance of the event. Click here for more details.
Research in materials engineering and processing using synchrotron radiation has improved our understanding the fundamental properties and behaviors of substances (raw or manufactured) under applied conditions. This workshop is to bring together researchers to report the latest studies and to show how SR light can be used to study transformation, defects and damage processes in substances, at size scales ranging from macroscopic cracks to micro- and nano-structural features.
