Canadian Light Source is Canada’s only synchrotron — a particle accelerator that generates light millions of times brighter than the sun.
This light from across the spectrum can be directed to illuminate all kinds of materials in their full atomic depth.For Pushie, it offers an essential vantage point to explore the molecular wake that COVID-19 can leave on the vascular system, potentially elevating risks of chronic illness long into the future.“(The synchrotron) lets us go all the way from the atomic to the anatomic level,” Pushie told Global News.“We can zoom right in and look at individual cells and what’s changing with those cells.
