Description:
The Advanced Light Source (ALS) stars in this website. The scientists and intruments that make up this national facility appear in the spotlight. The visual media include professional photos and graphics. A video tour of the facility is a highlight.There is also a whole section dedicated to the biographies of the scientists employed there. Students reading the text will be introduced to a stream of specialized words and concepts.Some of these concepts include relativistic velocity, coherence of light, and the photoelectric effect. Some concepts are hotlinked to explanations. These explanations are designed to make abstract concepts more palatable to students grounded to the real world. Hotlinks to sidebars carry the science of the ALS to the technology applications in materials, such as Kevlar.
