Starting from pioneering work in the 1980s, and profiting from the development of dedicated synchrotron radiation sources and performing x-ray optics, inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) with meV energy resolution has become a powerful tool in the study of phonon dispersion in condensed matter. The most important aspects distinguishing IXS from inelastic neutron scattering (INS) techniques are the absence of kinematic limitations and the possibility to study very small samples (down to 10-5 mm3). This has opened up new possibilities in a range of research fields ranging from geophysics to biology. The talk will illustrate the present capabilities of the technique by discussing a few representative examples of research conducted on beamline ID28 at the ESRF. Furthermore, recent developments and future perspectives shall be highlighted.
