23 January 2025 - a day to remember: The electrons are back at the #SwissLightSource#SLS! 💫
With this, SLS is well on track to resume operation in summer 2025. Congratulations to the entire #SLS 2.0 team on this major milestone! 👏

Read part 2 of the detector feature: Why detecting soft X-rays is hard, and how a new breakthrough is set to transform low energy X-ray science.#Lightsourcesciencebrnw.ch/21wIgz0
John Beale explains why pharmaceutical companies can benefit from XFEL light, and how high throughput measurements at the Cristallina endstation will facilitate this. #LightSourceScience, #SwissFELbrnw.ch/21wDkYO
Experiments at #SwissFEL and the #SwissLightSource#SLS at PSI, published in the journal Science, reveal for the first time catalyst carbon-hydrogen bonds 🔗of alkanes break and how the catalyst works in this reaction. #LightSourceSciencefal.cn/3zdyZ
#UpgradingSLS#LightSourceScience 500 vacuum chambers need to be built for the SLS 2.0 upgrade. These chambers will eventually form the ring around which electrons will travel, which will in turn generate the synchrotron radiation for research. fal.cn/3yX0j
How can we make 3D metal printing predictable? We have to understand changes to the material’s microstructure that occur as it melts and cools during printing. #Operando#Xray measurements at #SLS have now given new insights into this. #Lightsourcesciencefal.cn/3xkd8
For the first time, scientists at PSI have managed to produce nanoscale 3D images of so-called Zwischgold. The material was used to gild sculptures in the late Middle Ages. fal.cn/3sDDJ#LightSourceScience#culturalheritage#SLS
Great honour to welcome the French Ministers @sretailleau and @olivierveran to celebrate the first two years of successful operation of the new synchrotron ESRF-EBS, 2 years of science for the benefit of society.
