First Research Projects Underway at Diamond

This week marks the dawn of a new era of scientific endeavour as Diamond Light Source, the UK's brand new synchrotron facility, opens its doors for business and welcomes its very first scientific users. Top academic teams from Durham, Oxford, Leicester and London have been selected to be the first users of one of the brightest sources of light in the world that will enable them to find out more than ever before about the secret structure of the world around us.
