Industrial Applications of Synchrotron Radiation
Sunday, June 17, 2007 (half day workshop)
Description: As applied research moves into the 21st century, industry is discovering that traditional analytical techniques are not answering all of their questions. For example, new materials are being developed daily that may have significantly different properties but are chemical indistinguishable using current analysis techniques. It is important for industry to understand these differences and develop those unique properties into a new product. Therefore, today, industry is turning to new tools to shed light on old and new questions. This workshop will highlight some of the exciting progress industry has made by having access to state of the art research tools, such as synchrotron light.
