The APS Upgrade project includes the construction of several new beamlines, but every existing beamline will be improved as well. Winarski is the man overseeing all of that work.
Before conducting research at the Advanced Photon Source, researchers weren’t sure how the promising drug elesclomol delivered copper to cells. The facility’s bright X-rays revealed the answer.
Many of the Argonne employees who signed the magnet in 1994 still work for the laboratory, and their experiences building the original APS are vital to the ongoing effort to upgrade the facility.
