New Figures reveal importance of Science to world economies with UK s synchrotron contributing over £2 6 billion sciencex.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from sciencex.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
A recent study published 26 May estimates a cumulative monetised impact of at least £1.8 billion on UK science and economy from the UK s synchrotron, Diamond Light Source, reflecting favourably with the £1.2 billion investment made in the facility to date. And it costs less than a cup of coffee as each taxpayer contributes only £2.45 a year towards it. The study measures Diamond s scientific, technological, societal, and economic benefits and highlights the significant impact it has achieved to date.

Scientists uncover for the first time how the body s energy makers are made using Cryo-Electron Microscopy (cryo-EM) at eBIC within Diamond which is based in Oxfordshire.
A new paper published in
Science today (19 February 2021) by an international team of researchers reports an insight into the molecular mechanism of membrane-tethered protein synthesis in mitochondria. This is a fundamental new understanding of how the human mitoribosome functions and could explain how it is affected by mutations and deregulation that lead to disorders such as deafness and diseases including cancer development.
