Key information Project in the Spotlight: T22002 Market: Chemical technology Written by M2i Program Manager: Yulia Fischer Tunable Cell-Adhesive Surfaces One of the most pressing needs in materials science concerns the increased longevity of tailor-made devices, so as to decrease both use of materials and costs. An interesting challenge in the field

The project Smart*Light 2.0 aims to develop a ‘tabletop synchrotron’—a reliable and optimized instrument for specific X-ray analysis techniques, with a focus on fluorescence, diffraction, scattering, spectroscopy, and tomography. These techniques enable researchers to investigate the elemental composition, atomic structure, nanostructure, chemical composition, and 3D structure on a sub-millimeter scale—a critical aspect of material
