We will describe the status of the dynamic compression beamline designed to study shockwave-induced phenomena utilizing imaging and diffraction techniques, and the intermediate energy x-ray beamline that has been optimized to study emergent phenomena via angle-resolved spectroscopy and resonant soft x-ray scattering. In addition, we will discuss plans to install a multi-bend achromat lattice into the existing Advanced Photon Source storage ring tunnel. Finally, we show how a set of interacting quantum mechanical spins placed on the corners of square arrays in SrCu2(BO3)2, the model quantum magnet, can evolve from a set of locally bonded entities to a globally ordered structure after application of the combination of a cryogenic diamond anvil cell and single-crystal synchrotron x-ray and neutron diffraction measurements.* *This research used resources of the Advanced Photon Source, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility operated for the DOE Office of Science by Argonne National Laboratory under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357.
