Abstract

The Advanced School Some Recent Developments in the Field of Synchroton Radiation puts together high level researchers of 24 countries to share the latest developments in the use of synchrotron radiation e their applications in scientific investigation to classes of doctorate and post-doctorate students. Among the lecturers, it must be highlighted the presence of two Nobel Prize winners, Ada Yonath (Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel) and Albert Fert (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, France). Structural biology, 3D imaging, catalysis, magnetism and superconductivity, nanosciences and environment are some of the main themes. (AU)
