Research Areas

Photon Science Research Division is focusing on the structural and dynamic analysis of bio- and inorganic/organic-materials by using the most powerful synchrotron radiation from SPring-8. To address fundamental question in life. material and physical sciences, we are promoting cutting edge researches. In addition, we will develop new fields of photon science with the X-ray Free Electron Laser, which is a new light source in the next generation.
