times brighter than the sun, by using powerful magnets and radio frequency waves to
accelerate electrons to nearly the speed of light. This infra-red, ultraviolet and X-ray
light is shone down beamlines to experiment endstations where scientists can select
different parts of the spectrum to “see” the microscopic nature of matter, right down
to the level of the atom. Information obtained with this “super microscope” can be
used to help design new drugs, examine the structure of surfaces for developing more
effective motor oils, build more powerful computer chips, and help with clean-up of
mining wastes, to name just a few applications. Site where the Northern Plains Indians gathered for thousands of years to hunt bison,
