Seeing With Invisible Light
Powerful beams of invisible light help scientists
make remarkable discoveries that can impact our everyday life! The
National Synchrotron Light Source is one of the world’s brightest
sources of x-ray and ultraviolet beams. Used by the 2003 Nobel Prize
winner in chemistry as well as by researchers from around the world, the
Light Source has contributed to advances in medicine, materials, space
travel and much more! |

From the Big Bang to the Infinitely
Small
What do you get when you smash two beams of gold
particles, moving at 99.9% the speed of light? Scientists are hoping to
