NSLS-II Under Construction

An overhead view of the construction activity on Brookhaven National Laboratory's National Synchrotron Light Source II. When completed, NSLS-II will be the world’s leading storage-ring-based synchrotron light source.

 

Scheduled for completion in 2015, NSLS-II will allow the characterization of the atomic and electronic structure, chemical composition, and magnetic properties of materials in a wide range of temperatures and environments. Its unique aspects will help researchers explore solutions to the grand energy challenges faced by the nation, and open up new regimes of scientific discovery.
