APS/User News

Physicists working at the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Photon Source think they have achieved one of the most coveted goals of their discipline: creating a superconducting material that works at near-room temperature.
Imaging and measuring the atomization process in a gas turbine combustor using the bright x-rays from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Photon Source has been chosen by RDECOM Research Laboratory, the Army's corporate research laboratory under the Army Research Laboratory (ARL), as one of…
