The upgrade of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) will transform one of the world's most productive X-ray light source facilities, enabling it to produce X-ray beams that are up to 500 times brighter than those it currently generates.
This will open new avenues of discovery across many scientific fields. Laurent Chapon, Argonne's associate laboratory director for photon sciences and director of the APS, explains how the upgraded APS will change the world.
