Saw someone go by in my notifications that said they specialized in synchrotron light/radiation. Cool stuff.

Coincidentally I'm just down the road (by prairie standards) from the Canadian Light Source, Canada's national synchrotron light source. I once did some work there (just computer/network stuff, not advanced physics 😄 ) twenty-odd years ago, before it opened and I got to go through it. The big hall is nothing compared to CERN or Fermilab or whatever, but it's the size of a Canadian football field, and is a pretty cool pile of tech and engineering feats.

The CLS has a 2.9 GeV storage ring. You don't want to be around that too closely when it's running.

Just random memories triggered by seeing "synchrotron". Nothing to see here, move along.

Exciting news! Our work at #UWindsor on a highly potent antimicrobial composite material is now a published manuscript at RSC Sustainability. This work was performed together with the Kennepohl team from #ucalgary at #canadianlightsource who helped us determine the temporal speciation of copper in our composite. #research #bionanoscience #AntiMicrobials
