Diamond Light Source

The Economist article on synchrotron—a particle accelerator that produces exceptionally bright X-rays which illuminate unseen worlds of atoms, molecules and fibres + other viewpoints @ http://www.economist.com/daily/columns/greenview/displayStory.cfm?story_id=12541097 was educational and insightful.

I think deploying new and powerful technologies such as Diamond will clean up messes created by previous technological advancement.
