DESCRIPTION:The advent of maturing synchrotron capabilities and nanotechno
 logy has provided an exciting playground and unprecedented scientific oppo
 rtunities. The very bright\, energy-tunable\, highly collimated and pulsed
  synchrotron light sources of the third generation are making synchrotron 
 light readily available for a wide spectrum of materials research. In this
  talk\, the applications of a number of recently developed synchrotron spe
 ctroscopic techniques will be presented. These include: X-ray Absorption F
 ine Structures (XAFS) using yield techniques\, X-ray Emission Spectroscopy
  (XES)\, X-ray Excited Optical Luminescence (XEOL) in both energy and time
  domain and Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM). Studies of nano
 -composites\, transition metal nanostructures\, energy nanomaterials\, suc
 h as Li ion battery materials and calcium silicate nano-carriers for drug 
 delivery among others will be described to illustrate the unique solutions
  the synchrotron technology can provide. The prospects of emerging techniq
 ues such as High Energy X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy\, High Energy Res
 olution X-ray Fluorescence and Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering Spectro
 scopy and their applications will also be noted.
