the Advanced Light Source
           
   

The Advanced Light Source (ALS), a division of Berkeley Lab, is a national user facility that generates intense light for scientific and technological research. As one of the world's brightest sources of ultraviolet and soft x-ray beams--and the world's first third-generation synchrotron light source in its energy range--the ALS makes previously impossible studies possible. The facility welcomes researchers from universities, industries, and government laboratories around the world. (See Becoming an ALS User for details). It is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Basic Energy Sciences. Still wondering what we do? See About the ALS.
