Synchrotron radiation, by virtue of its special beam characteristics (high flux, high brilliance, tuneable wavelength etc .), has revived interest in small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS) for hard condensed matter and materials science. New techniques (ultra SAXS, grazing‐incidence SAXS, X‐ray photon correlation spectroscopy etc. ) have been developed and new scientific themes tackled, ranging from metallurgy to nanotechnology.
