Physics Today

Science : Last week US Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz officially dedicated the $912 million successor to Brookhaven National Laboratory’s National Synchrotron Light Source. Known as NSLS-II, the new facility will use a variety of wavelengths of light to study materials at a resolution nearing 10 nm and will reach intensities 10 000 times brighter than its predecessor. Currently only 7 of the 70 planned beamlines are operational; 25 more will be added over the next five years.
