Electrons dropping down into stable orbits around an atomic nucleus follow the strange rules of quantum mechanics which began to be revealed by Niels Bohr’s discovery in 1913. The radiation emerging from the atom as the electron settles into orbit can tell us a lot about the nucleus. Shortly after Bohr’s discovery, Henry Moseley discovered that this radiation, typically in the X-ray part of the spectrum, could be used to discover gaps in the periodic table of the elements where new elements would later be found.

In this lecture I will show how one hundred years later intense beams of X-rays from synchrotrons are making new discoveries in the chemical processes of life.

Every year, falciparum malaria causes an estimated 1.2 million deaths. With current vaccine trials showing only limited protection, chemotherapeutic measures are set to be a mainstay of defence against malaria for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately drug-resistant malaria is a major problem in the Asia Pacific region, and concerted efforts are needed to contain and combat the disease.
