Synchrotron radiation is used not only for scientific purposes, but is also crucial for the development of many companies.<\/p>\n
Below are some examples of the interest in synchrotron radiation in the business world.<\/p>\n
Baltic TRAM<\/strong>\u00a0(Transnational Research Access in the Macroregion)<\/a> is an international project that facilitates the use of large research infrastructure, including synchrotrons. The companies under this project can participate in specialized consultations and training offered by the project partners, and will gain access to synchrotron radiation sources to test their innovative ideas. Read more about Baltic TRAM on the SOLARIS website<\/a>. The offer of SOLARIS to industrial users is described here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Barcelona Synchrotron Park<\/strong>\u00a0– BSP<\/a> – BSP is a new science and technology park, the aim of which is to offer companies based on new technologies a privileged environment and a special location for their activities in Europe.<\/p>\n The TOYOTA<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/a><\/strong> company has its own measuring line on the SPring-8 synchrotron. The line maintained by TOYOTA Central R&D Labs., Inc.<\/a> is dedicated to measurements related to the automotive industry. On the SPring-8 synchrotron website you will find information about the capabilities of the TOYOTA Beamline BL33XU<\/a> beamline, which enables time-resolved XAFS measurements. ZEISS<\/strong>\u00a0Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology<\/a>\u00a0 business group produces optics systems for the construction of synchrotrons for research centers around the world.<\/p>\n PREVAC<\/strong>\u00a0sp. z\u00a0o.o.\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>. equips synchrotron experimental lines around the world.<\/p>\n The largest research facility in the UK – synchrotron\u00a0Diamond<\/strong><\/a> welcomes corporate clients. Companies such as Pfizer and Rolls-Royce are lining up for the beam time.<\/a><\/p>\n The Synchrotron ESRF<\/strong><\/a> offers its experimental lines to the business sector. In the leaflet informing about cooperation with the business, ESRF mentions, among others: Astex Therapeutics (UK), AstraZeneca (UK & Swe), Bayer Schering Pharma (Ger), Corning (Fr), Daihatsu (Japan), GlaxoSmithKline (UK), Johnson Matthey ( UK), L’Or\u00e9al (Fr), Merck (Ger, NL), Pfizer (UK), Procter & Gamble (UK) Statoil (Nor), Toyota Motor Europe (Belgium), Toyota CRDL (Japan), Unilever (NL) .<\/p>\n SAGA<\/strong>\u00a0(SAGA-LS)<\/a>\u00a0 is a compact third generation synchrotron radiation source built in the city of Tosu in Saga Prefecture in northern Kyushu, Japan. SAGA-LS is the first synchrotron radiation source in Japan that was built by the local prefectural government. The lines of this synchrotron are dedicated mainly to industrial applications.<\/p>\n Sumitomo<\/strong>\u00a0Electric Industries, Ltd.<\/a>\u00a0 built two lines at the SAGA synchrotron for its own use. The company plans to use dedicated lines to accelerate development in many areas, e.g. improving the performance of new products, such as redox flow batteries, optical fibers, and improving the quality of existing products.<\/p>\n Lyncean Technologies<\/strong>, Inc.<\/a><\/span><\/span> has launched compact synchrotron radiation sources on the market.<\/p>\n The American company Best Medical<\/strong>\u00a0International, Inc.<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0offers synchrotrons for medical purposes.<\/p>\n The Metrology<\/a>\u00a0Light Source<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span> is a low-energy synchrotron for metrology purposes, built near the BESSY II synchrotron in Berlin. it was built for its own needs by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), the German national institute of metrology, which uses synchrotron radiation for metrology. In this way, PTB expanded its activity with its own storage ring, designed and built to meet the requirements of metrology.<\/p>\n XDS Oxford<\/strong>\u00a0Ltd.<\/a> is a company with many years of tradition, dealing with the construction of synchrotron lines.<\/p>\n The National Synchrotron Light Source<\/strong>\u00a0(NSLS)<\/a> provides a list of companies that perform research on this synchrotron. Among them are Pfizer, Inc. and IBM Research Division.<\/p>\n Chapter in the monograph on the early involvement of the Dow Chemical Company in synchrotron measurements in 1983-1995 Synchrotron radiation is used not only for scientific purposes, but is also crucial for the development of many companies.
