About us
From batteries and microelectronics to drug design and future quantum computers, scientists advance our understanding of materials every day to solve the world's greatest challenges. However, today's problems are so complex that they require researchers to study materials with highly specialized tools that are not readily available at most institutions. That's where the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) comes in. As one of the newest, most advanced synchrotron light sources in the world, NSLS-II enables its growing research community to study materials with nanoscale resolution and exquisite sensitivity by providing cutting-edge capabilities. Together with visiting researchers from all around the world, interdisciplinary teams at NSLS-II uncover the atomic structure, elemental make-up, and electronic behavior of materials. By creating this new, deeper understanding of materials, these research teams advance our knowledge in a wide range of scientific disciplines such as life sciences, quantum materials, energy storage, advanced materials science, physics, chemistry, and biology. As a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science User Facility, NSLS-II enables a collaborative, holistic approach to advance scientific endeavors by offering free access to highly advanced instruments and unique expertise. NSLS-II creates light beams 10 billion times brighter than the sun, directing them towards specialized experimental stations called beamlines. We reveal the electronic, chemical, and atomic structure as well as function of materials using a broad spectrum of light beams, ranging from infrared to hard x-rays. Thus, we can study the chemical changes within batteries under working conditions, uncover the motion of nanomaterials in plants, and investigate the changes in the structure of 3D printed materials during printing.

More exciting exciton research at NSLS-II! Scientists uncover details about the formation and behavior of excitons in van der Waals magnets that could lead to brand-new applications and technologies based on magnetism, such as information storage. https://bit.ly/3X7jbdM #NSLSII #Excitons #Magnetism #RIXS #Synchrotron #Lightsource #vanderwaals

Promethium is difficult to study because it has no stable isotopes and exists in a limited quantity both naturally and synthetically. With X-ray absorption, scientists from Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) could measure the length of promethium’s chemical bond with neighboring atoms in the complex for the first time at NSLS-II’s Beamline for Materials Measurement!
