Science Tour Route 1: National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center
A synchrotron facility is a ring-shape particle accelerator, also known as a synchrotron or a light source. Electron bunches travel at nearly the speed of light in a circular path to generate bright beams of light; the wavelength spectrum covers hard X-ray, soft X-ray, ultraviolet and infrared. With its ability to probe materials microscopically, synchrotron radiation has become an important tool for both fundamental and applied research covering a diverse range of subjects.
Science Tour Route 2: TSMC Museum of Innovation
The TSMC Museum of Innovation encompasses three exhibition galleries. Through
interactive technology, digital content, and historical documents we will learn about the pervasiveness of ICs in our daily lives and about their continued advancement. In addition, we will learn how ICs are making our lives more fulfilling and how they are driving technology beyond our imagination. We will also learn how TSMC contributes to global IC innovation and to Taiwan's economy.
