Many biologically important molecules change shape when stimulated by UV radiation. Although this property can also be found ...

A research team led by Colorado State University has achieved a new milestone in 3D X-ray imaging technology. The scientists ...

For self-seeding, the undulator is split into two pieces, the first of which is used to make an X-ray laser. A monochromator is then placed between the two undulators to select a narrow band ...

The ASU team set out to develop the first compact X-ray free electron laser, or CXFEL. A dramatically smaller and less ...

The hard X-ray FEL has come of age. A free-electron laser is not like other lasers. It works by forcing a beam of electrons, travelling at nearly the speed of light, to oscillate in a long ...

What are X-Ray Free-Electron Lasers? X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) are a revolutionary type of X-ray source that produce ultra-short, highly intense pulses of X-rays. Unlike conventional X-ray ...

With the help of the world's most powerful X-ray laser, a research team has achieved an important breakthrough: Using the example of the pharmaceutically active substance 2-thiouracil, they ...
