With the introduction of the new EBS (Extremely Brilliant Source) at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), a remarkable array of techniques and apparatuses has become accessible, enabling the acquisition and comprehension of physical processes that were once concealed. The advancements made at ESRF have led to substantial improvements in both temporal and spatial resolution. The enhanced time resolution source allows researchers to capture rapid changes and dynamic events with unprecedented precision. By illuminating samples with extremely short and intense bursts of synchrotron radiation, scientists can now investigate phenomena that occur on incredibly short timescales. On the opposite side, the new brilliance allows going through thicker apparatuses, allowing investigation at greater depths with unprecedented spatial resolution due to the development of new acquisition methods. Being porosity or crack distribution, it allows greater statistics and its evolution. Techniques, apparatuses and developments at ESRF belong to the scientific community. These are your toys, and we are looking forward to seeing you come to play with us.
