As part of a massive upgrade to the Advanced Photon Source (APS), scientists studying the “chemical map” of samples will have better proximity to colleagues, improved research tools and state-of-the-art facilities.
To provide X-ray beams that are both very bright and very tightly focused, an Argonne team had to create a new system of mirrors, lenses and equipment for the upgraded Advanced Photon Source.
Using the powerful X-ray beams of the Advanced Photon Source with new computer-driven algorithms, scientists will be able to study batteries and electronics at nanometer scales.
