The article discusses the 10th anniversary of the NSLS-II (National Synchrotron Light Source II) facility, which has seen significant growth and development over the past decade. The facility now has 29 operational beamlines, compared to the initial 6, and has hosted thousands of users and published numerous papers. The article also highlights the recent addition of the HEX beamline and the ongoing construction of three new beamlines as part of the NEXT-II project. The NSLS-II facility is focused on advancing clean energy technologies, materials science, and various scientific disciplines. The article concludes by emphasizing the facility's commitment to continued growth and delivering cutting-edge science in the future. [Extracted from the article]

The Soochow University Beamline, located at the National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory in China, is a Soft X-ray beamline designed for studying energy-related materials and devices. It operates in the energy range of 45 eV–1100 eV and is specifically tailored for investigating Li, B, C, N, O, F K-edges, and most L-edges of transition metals. The beamline offers various capabilities, including X-ray absorption, photon in photon out, and in situ/operando studies of energy materials and devices in gas/liquid environments. It has been successful in producing high-quality research papers and is open to users worldwide. The beamline is a collaborative effort between Soochow University and the National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory, with funding from Soochow University. It is the first synchrotron radiation beamline in China to be funded by a university. [Extracted from the article]
