Diamond Light Source’s 10th open anniversary
Diamond Light Source, the synchrotron science facility, located at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire, will celebrate the 10th anniversary of when the synchrotron opened to users for the first time in November 2017, five years after its official opening.
Had a great week at Diamond Light Source during my summer studentship.
Science Scribbler is Back! We are excited to announce that we have launched a new workflow on Science Scribbler!
Diamond Manchester Collaboration - Call for Proposals
Researchers are being invited to apply for ‘beamtime’ at the Diamond Light Source. Allocation Period 21 will run from 31 March to 30 September 2017.
In 2010, the University of Manchester and Diamond Light Source entered into a collaboration to “discover, explore and exploit new science using Synchrotron Radiation”.
Under the terms of this Diamond Manchester Collaboration (DMC), Manchester part-funded a new X-ray imaging and tomography beamline at Diamond, now known as I13-2.
The high flux available at I13-2 means high signal-to-noise images can be recorded far more rapidly than with lab X-ray sources, enabling the study of dynamic processes such as fracturing of materials and electrochemical deposition.
The DMC Director, Neil Bourne, Professor of Matter in Extreme Environments, wishes to widen participation in DMC activities by Manchester researchers. Applications are therefore being encouraged from both new and established users.
Applications for use of DMC beamtime must have a University of Manchester academic as PI, but proposals in collaboration with other academic institutions or with industry are welcomed. If you would like to explore the possibility of working with the DMC, please contact the Project Manager, Dr Jenny Woods, for assistance.
All applications should be submitted through the Diamond User Administration System, where a specific DMC proposal template can be found. The closing date for applications is 1st November, 2016 and it is hoped to announce outcomes in mid-December.
Director of the DMC, Prof Neil Bourne (R) and Principal Beamline Scientist, Prof Christoph Rau (L), are encouraging applications for use of Diamond Manchester Collaboration beamtime.

Diamond Light Source's beamline projects advanced with new specialized components from Allectra
Diamond Light Source is the UK's national synchrotron science facility and produces light 10 billion times brighter than our sun. This light is directed off into laboratories also called 'beamlines' where scientists can conduct various studies and experiments on a wide range of subjects from vaccines to jet engines.

New glass manufacturing technique could enable design of hybrid glasses and revolutionise gas storage
The work revolves around a family of compounds called metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which are cage-like structures consisting of metal ions, linked by organic bonds. Their porous properties have led to proposed application in carbon capture, hydrogen storage and toxic gas separations, due to their ability to selectively adsorb and store pre-selected target molecules, much like a building a…

…or potentially deadly disease?
Back in June, I visited the Diamond Light Source in Oxfordshire, and I was fascinated by the array of machinery and batteries whose combined forces enable scientists to take the most detailed photographs of anything from human limbs to medieval ship timbers. Then they use the images to help develop new medical treatments or methods to preserve old materials.
I…
