ALS to Host 6th Diffraction-Limited Storage Ring Workshop
Registration is now open for the 6th International Diffraction-Limited Storage Ring (DLSR) Workshop, which will be hosted by the ALS on October 29-31, 2018. The workshop will address both the technical challenges and the new research opportunities at fourth-generation x-ray facilities enabled by multibend achromat lattices. Plenary presentations and breakout sessions will feature updates on current DLSR projects, accelerator designs, experimental systems, and emerging science opportunities. Read more »
Will Chueh, Assistant Professor and UEC Chair
For more than 10 years, Will Chueh has been an ALS user. He started coming to the ALS as a grad student using one technique, and now, as an assistant professor at Stanford University, his group uses multiple techniques and multiple user facilities to better understand energy storage materials.

Meet Leda: Mother of Light
In Greek mythology, Leda is a Spartan queen and mother of the twins Castor and Pollux. In reference to the myth, Leda is also the name of the ALS’s recently delivered insertion device—an in-vacuum undulator. For the next eight months, Leda is taking up residence in the Building 15 high bay, awaiting installation during the January 2019 shutdown. Read more »
U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry Visits the ALS
Secretary Perry visited the ALS and other locations at Berkeley Lab on March 27. Guided by ALS Interim Director Steve Kevan and Berkeley Lab Director Mike Witherell, he talked with users and staff about microtomography work on ceramic-matrix composites, battery research using STXM, and the Center for X-Ray Optics’ EUV lithography work. See photographs from the tour. Read more »
ALS Hosts “Five-Way” Meeting of DOE Light Sources
On April 23, the ALS hosted a meeting of the five DOE-funded light sources (ALS, SSRL, LCLS, APS, and NSLS-II). These “five-way” meetings, held biannually, bring together representatives from each facility to discuss common interests and issues. Topics of discussion included open data policies, business software, optics and detector development, workforce and career development, and diversity. Read more »
Share Your Photos to Celebrate the International Day of Light
Lightsources.org, an international collaboration of light sources, is participating in the International Day of Light (May 16) with a photo wall on its website. Users of any of the member facilities, including the ALS, are invited to share a picture of their work, research, or day-to-day life in science on the theme of “light in science.” Read more »
