Utilizing Microdevices
Whether it’s through developing microscopic-sized heart monitors,
analyzing pollutants to find new ways to clean up the environment, or
improving rubber tires, tomorrow will be a different place because of
LSU’s Center for Advanced Microstructures
& Devices (CAMD). The center is one of only eight synchrotron
radiation facilities operating in the U.S. and the only one of its kind
in the South. It is powered by an electron storage ring that operates
at energies as high as 1.5 billion electron volts. The center is used
by LSU researchers and by scientists from around the globe who take advantage
of the eight beamlines, harnessing CAMD’s phenomenal power to create
microscopic devices and analyze materials.
