The upgrade of the Advanced Photon Source (APS), a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science user facility, reached a major milestone in December 2023. The final modules of the newly upgraded electron storage ring at the heart of the APS have now been installed, a significant step toward the completion of the removal and installation phase of the project that began in April 2023.

HPCAT, the High-Pressure Collaborative Access Team, at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Photon Source (APS), recently celebrated its 20-year anniversary, commemorated during a workshop.
