HTTP:: Diamond 039 s Latest Beamline Station Online
--------
On October 12, scientists at the Diamond Light Source, in the United Kingdom, ignited the latest experimental station (I07) at the facility for the first time. The laboratory's purpose is to produce electromagnetic radiation known as synchrotron light, which is generated from charged particles traveling almost at the speed of light. I07, the 14th beamline at the facility, will be used primarily for physics, chemistry and life sciences, PhysOrg reports. The beamline's X-rays will be able to determine details of individual atoms, and will also help forward a large number of scientific fields, such as, for instance, molecular electronics, or even nanotechnology and bioengineering. One application that springs to mind is the creation of more effective drug-delivery techniques, which still rely on poorly understood nanoparticles at this point. Being able to put together well-understood nanostructures could help scientists create, in the end, transport vessels that deliver the!

Building a new beamline at Diamond has been an exciting challenge and we are pleased to deliver a fantastic scientific tool within budget and beyond specification,â Diamond Surface and Interface diffraction beamline princip...
