Diamond Light Source is a not-for-profit limited company funded as a joint venture between UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) and Wellcome Trust.
Diamond Light Source is the UK’s national synchrotron. It works like a giant microscope, harnessing the power of electrons to produce bright light that scientists can use to study anything from fossils to jet engines to viruses and vaccines.
Vision:
To be a world-leading centre for synchrotron science, particularly in areas of excellence at UK universities, research institutes and in industry; a cornerstone of a world-class site for scientific discovery and innovation at Harwell.
