The ESRF is an outstanding example of European cooperation in science. Seventeen nations work together to use the extremely bright beams of light produced by the ESRF's high-performance storage ring to study a remarkably wide range of materials, from biomolecules to nanomagnets, from ancient Egyptian cosmetics to metallic foams. The ESRF's trademark is quality — quality of the X-ray beams and the science we produce, quality in the instruments and techniques we develop, and quality of our staff in their support of our external User scientists. Since there are so many areas to research even within this arena, this page will be limited to weakly intense electromagnetic radiation that the general population is exposed to commonly. This obviously leads into topics like cellular phone use and more subtle affects of radiation to Genetic Material! Recent US studies are showing more significant bio-effects at lower and lower power densities.
