What is Diamond
Diamond is the UK's national synchrotron science facility. It's shaped like a huge ring, and is a bit like a giant microscope. Diamond speeds up electrons to near light speeds, producing a light 10 billion times brighter than the sun. These bright beams are then directed off into laboratories known as ‘beamlines’; here scientists use the light to study everything from viruses and vaccines to fossils and jet engines.
On this page you can explore how Diamond works, find videos and simulations to explain our science, how you can come and visit us and even links to how you can come and work with our amazing team.
