last modified 16-11-2011 19:02

On 10 November, the ESRF inaugurated the first Upgrade Beamline, ID24, which will soon observe like in a time-lapse film sequence extremely rapid processes, whether laser-heating of iron to 10,000 degrees, charge reactions in new batteries or catalysts cleaning pollutants.

Many media reported on this event, mostly focusing on research into matter at extreme conditions.

A long article appeared already on 1 November in the local Grenoble newspaper "Le Dauphine Libéré"

as well as in Italy's major news Website "punto-informatico.it"

Also "nu.nl", the 6th-most visited Website in the Netherlands and the by far most important online news source in that country, covered the event:
