Ever wondered what happens inside a particle accelerator? 

Come behind the scenes at Diamond Light Source, the UK’s national synchrotron, and discover how scientists use incredibly bright X-rays to investigate materials at the atomic level! 

In this video, you’ll see how we prepare and mount samples before using powerful synchrotron techniques to study renewable materials for next-generation batteries. By understanding how these materials are structured and how they behave, researchers can help develop safer, more efficient, and more sustainable energy storage for the future.

Whether you’re interested in chemistry, physics, materials science, or cutting-edge research, this is your chance to see world-class science in action!

Take a look inside one of the UK’s most advanced scientific facilities and discover how synchrotron science is helping power a greener future!
