Current Status and Future Strategies of the Industrial Science Support Center at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory in South Korea.

The Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) in South Korea is a leading scientific facility that attracts thousands of researchers each year. PAL operates the Pohang Light Source (PLS) and PAL-XFEL, which are synchrotron accelerators used for various scientific experiments. In 2013, the Industrial Science Support Center (ISSC) was established at PAL to provide a platform for industries to access synchrotron science. The ISSC offers expedited beamtime access and comprehensive support for industries conducting experiments. The center has supported various industries, including secondary batteries, semiconductors, and biotechnology. PAL aims to expand its industrial science support and enhance beamline efficiency in the future. [Extracted from the article]
