X-ray science at modern Synchrotrons and X-ray Free Electron Laser facilities are enabling the study of subtle structural changes of matter from the single atom to the macroscopic scale. This paper reviews new concepts in synchrotron storage rings design and reports on the successful commissioning and operation of the new X-ray storage ring of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble.
