Event Description
Be among the first to walk around the half-mile ring of the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), a new facility that will allow scientists to "see" nanoscale structures as never before.
The $912-million construction project to build the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) is on schedule, on budget, and more than 70 percent complete. Groundbreaking was in 2009 for this state-of-the-art facility, which will allow scientists to see materials at the scale of a nanometer, or one billionth of a meter - a capability not available at any other light source in the world. Working at the nanoscale, researchers will focus on some of the nation's most important scientific challenges, including clean and affordable energy, molecular electronics, and high-temperature superconductors.
