ESRF-EBS: The Extremely Brilliant Source Project

The ESRF—the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility—is an international user facility in Grenoble, France, and a leader in the generation of the most intense high-energy (6 GeV) X-rays in the world. It was the very first “third-generation” synchrotron to be built and its extremely brilliant light provides opportunities for scientists all over the world in the exploration of materials and living matter, ranging from the chemistry and physics of materials to archeology and cultural heritage, together with structural biology and medical applications, the sciences of the environment, and the sciences of information and nanotechnologies.
