The Siberian Ring Photon Source (SKIF), the world’s best synchrotron radiation facility, is being built in the Koltsovo science city near Novosibirsk. The first test assembly of the equipment has begun,” the RAS states

First of all, the unique installation will be used in the interests of the country’s defense and security. Biologists and doctors will also work at SKIF to implement a program of biological safety, strengthen the health of the country’s population, develop new treatment methods and create new dosage forms

▪️”The results that SKIF will give are very necessary for the economy and defense of the country today. Our future generations need them so that our young researchers, talented guys with burning eyes, work on the best installation in the world, creating the best technologies in the world,” the RAS said

SKIF, a synchrotron radiation source of generation 4+ with an energy of 3 GeV, is being created within the framework of the national project “Science and Universities”. The complex will allow you to study matter at the atomic level and gain new fundamental knowledge in the field of biology, chemistry, medicine, etc. The brightness of the SKIF radiation will be a record in the world. Completion of construction, installation and commissioning works is scheduled for December 2024
