- Congratulations to our CEO Prof Andrew Harrison who has been named on the Queen's Birthday Honours list & will receive an OBE for services to science during the Covid-19 response. It’s an accolade to all those involved with Diamond! bit.ly/2SVLX0x #QueensBirthdayHonours
- The @covid_moonshot consortium, of which Diamond is a member, has received key funding of £8 million from @wellcometrust. The funding will help contribute to developing a safe, globally accessible and affordable antiviral medication. #COVID19 Read more: diamond.ac.uk/Home/News/Late…
- Follow David as he takes the path of an electron travelling around the synchrotron. He even gains energy like an electron does - although he’s nowhere near as fast! #synchrotronscience
00:00 - Welcome back to Alice Roberts, pictured here on top of our storage ring! Alice and the team will be filming at Diamond for the day 📽️
- In 2019, an international team brought the complete skull of the 3.67-million-year-old #LittleFoot skeleton, from South Africa to the UK, and achieved unprecedented imaging resolution of its bony structures and dentition in an X-ray synchrotron-based investigation at Diamond.
- Today is the International day of #womenandgirlsinscience. At Diamond we strive to continue the discussion about equality & promote awareness of the issues facing #WomenInSTEM. We are also committed to driving changes in policy and practice to address them. #WomenInScienceDay
