#PicOfTheWeek: This is no ordinary X-ray machine! The original Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory was impressive. Two different sets of scientists who conducted research on it received Nobel Prizes for their work. With a recent upgrade, the APS's X-ray beams will be up to 500X brighter than the original: https://lnkd.in/erRJQGsp
