The Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory has been designed as a national user facility for synchrotron-radiation researchers from industry universities and national laboratories. By providing x-ray beams more brilliant than those currently available the APS promises to play a substantial role in any discipline where knowledge of the structure of matter is important from basic research in materials and chemistry to condensed-matter physics biology and medical applications. The science now in progress at existing synchrotron-radiation facilities and the science being proposed for the APS underlie virtually all modem technologies.
