Diamond Light Source is the UK’s national synchrotron science facility, located at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire. Diamond generates brilliant beams of light from infra-red to X-rays which are used to investigate physical and chemical behaviour of materials and processes on the atomic, molecular and cellular scale. Clients range from multinationals to start-ups and SMEs working in sectors as diverse as drug discovery and development, food, electronics, formulation, energy, automotive and aerospace engineering. Investigations of microstructure of formulations are of particular interest to a variety of clients with small angle X-ray scattering among the available techniques used to non-destructively probe nanoparticle morphology and suspension microstructure. Case study examples of work done by Diamond’s users and clients will be explored.
