The best way to get between measuring stations is by bicycle. A complete circuit of the storage ring is over one kilometre long. Thirty-five stations are available for scientists to work with high-energy, or hard. X-rays, permitting unique images of technical materials and biological structures at the atomic dimension. Researchers granted measurement times here are the chosen few, and a team from the DLR Institute of Materials Research was among them. In cooperation with the University of Central Florida and the Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago it was analysed, using synchrotron radiation, what happens in very thin protective layers of turbine blades, which are under severe mechanical load and exposed to temperatures exceeding 1000 °C.
