Focus Topic: Light Sources Enabled Science (LS)

Home Focus Topic: Light Sources Enabled Science (LS)
Light Source Enable Science Focus Topics: The LS focus topic is focused on cutting-edge science and technology enabled by synchrotrons and free-electron lasers. We invite users, beamline scientists, instrument developers, data/software teams, and early-career researchers to share results, new capabilities, and disciplines. The program will highlight the “cool science” made possible by light sources — along with the cutting-edge beamline developments, novel detectors, and data analysis approaches which are driving breakthroughs in materials science, catalysis, microelectronics and quantum information science.
