Advanced Photon Source

Did you know that the moon and sun's gravitational pull creates tidal forces that even affect the Advanced Photon Source? It's true: These forces subtly deform the APS every day, but don't worry—it's equipped to handle it. 👉 anl.gov/article/celest…

Researchers at @argonne are using #AI and supercomputing to revolutionize cancer research. They also leverage the APS to capture protein structures, enhancing visualization and targeting for treatment. anl.gov/article/argonn…

Exciting news: The APS has reached a key milestone by achieving the full design beam current of 200 milliamps (mA) in our upgraded electron storage ring. This marks another important step toward the anticipated completion of the APS Upgrade project this summer. Stay tuned!
