Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL)
- Description — SSRL is a Department of Energy Office of Science user facility that provides synchrotron radiation facilities used to study our world at the atomic and molecular level, leading to advances in drug discovery, medicine, energy production, environmental remediation, nanotechnology and new materials. The facility supports (with instrumentation and staff) researchers using macromolecular crystallography, small-angle x-ray scattering, x-ray imaging and microscopy, x-ray absorption spectroscopy, and scattering techniques, among others. Access is obtained by submitting a proposal and is provided at no charge for scientists who conduct non-proprietary research, with the understanding that significant results are to be publicly disseminated.
