With a staggering investment of 4.8 billion yuan (approximately US$665 million), this facility marks a significant milestone for Asia.
HEPS will revolutionize scientific research with its production of high-energy X-rays, facilitating the precise probing of samples at the nanoscale level.China is poised to unveil its cutting-edge High Energy Photon Source by year’s end, boasting some of the world’s most powerful synchrotron X-rays.
Situated in Huairou, near downtown Beijing, the circular HEPS facility is a hive of activity as researchers meticulously calibrate thousands of components. These efforts are geared towards creating a light source capable of delving deep into samples, unveiling their molecular and atomic structures in real-time.
Upon its scheduled opening in 2025, HEPS will provide researchers with access to 14 beamlines catering to diverse fields such as energy, condensed matter physics, materials innovation, and biomedicine. Plans are underway to expand this capacity to accommodate up to 90 beamlines in the future. Tao claims that the HEPS facility will “impact every scientific field, except maths.”
