In August 2021, the SOLEIL storage ring was restarted after the summer shutdown with a new bending magnet made entirely of permanent magnets. Producing a magnetic field of 2.8 T, it replaced one of the 32 electromagnetic dipoles (magnetic field of 1.7 T) of the ring to allow the ROCK beamline to exploit more intense photon fluxes in the hard X-ray range, thus improving the time resolution performances of the beamline for experiments carried out above 20 keV. The reduction of the new dipole magnetic gap required to produce the higher field has led to the construction and installation of a new vacuum vessel. The realization of the new dipole with permanent magnets was a technological feat due to the very strong magnetic forces. The permanent-magnet assembly required dedicated tools to be designed and constructed. Thanks to accurate magnetic measurements, a precise modelization of the new dipole was performed to identify its effects on the electron beam dynamics. The first measurements carried out on the ROCK beamline have highlighted the expected increase in photon flux, and the operation performances remain unchanged for the other beamlines. Here, the major developments and results of this innovative project are described in terms of technology, electron beam dynamics and photon beam performance on the ROCK beamline.

Full-field transmission X-ray microscopy has been recently implemented at the hard X-ray ROCK-SOLEIL quick-EXAFS beamline, adding micrometre spatial resolution to the second time resolution characterizing the beamline. Benefiting from a beam size versatility due to the beamline focusing optics, full-field hyperspectral XANES imaging has been successfully used at the Fe K-edge for monitoring the pressure-induced spin transition of a 150 µm × 150 µm Fe(o-phen)(NCS) single crystal and the charge of millimetre-sized LiFePO battery electrodes. Hyperspectral imaging over 2000 eV has been reported for the simultaneous monitoring of Fe and Cu speciation changes during activation of a FeCu bimetallic catalyst along a millimetre-sized catalyst bed.

Third- and fourth-generation synchrotron light sources with high fluxes and beam energies enable the use of innovative X-ray translucent experimental apparatus. These experimental devices access geologically relevant conditions whilst enabling in situ characterization using the spatial and temporal resolutions accessible at imaging beamlines. Here, Heitt Mjölnir is introduced, a heated miniature triaxial rig based on the design of Mjölnir, but covering a wider temperature range and larger sample volume at similar pressure capacities.

The Oak Ridge National Laboratory is planning to build the Second Target Station (STS) at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). STS will host a suite of novel instruments that complement the First Target Station's beamline capabilities by offering an increased flux for cold neutrons and a broader wavelength bandwidth. A novel neutron imaging beamline, named the Complex, Unique, and Powerful Imaging Instrument for Dynamics (CUPI2D), is among the first eight instruments that will be commissioned at STS as part of the construction project.

Microbial U(VI) reduction influences uranium mobility in contaminated subsurface environments and can affect the disposal of high-level radioactive waste by transforming the water-soluble U(VI) to less mobile U(IV). The reduction of U(VI) by the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfosporosinus hippei DSM 8344, a close phylogenetic relative to naturally occurring microorganism present in clay rock and bentonite, was investigated.
