To fully address emerging challenges, scientists must study real materials—learning the intricate details of how they function in order to design life-saving medicines and cancer treatments, radically advanced batteries and engines and novel materials and composites, to name only a few applications. This requires synchrotron and neutron sources. These facilities allow scientists to investigate materials at the atomic scale, thus enabling them to make groundbreaking discoveries and spur transformational innovations that create new products and industries, generate new jobs and address our energy, national security and technological needs.
