About src.Wisc.edu
Synchrotron technology allows researchers to utilize light as a tool. At SRC, light is produced by hurtling electrons at near the speed of light around a circular track--which, at SRC, is appropriately called Aladdin. Those electrons are manipulated in such a way that light, ranging from infrared to x-ray, is produced. Every three weeks, called a quantum at SRC, different researchers take their turn on one of the 28 research stations.
