These X-rays allow scientists to pursue new knowledge about the structure and function of materials in the center of the Earth, in outer space, and all points in between. The knowledge gained from this research is impacting the evolution of combustion engines and microcircuits, aiding in the development of new pharmaceuticals, and pioneering nanotechnologies whose scale is measured in billionths of a meter, to name just a few examples. These studies promise to have far-reaching impacts on our technology, economy, health, and our fundamental knowledge of the materials that make up our world. The APS electron accelerator and storage system are the first critical steps in producing the high-energy X-rays that are used for frontier research. The APS is funded by the Office of Science-Basic Energy Sciences in the U.S. Department of Energy. For more information, see https://www.aps.anl.gov/.
