Watching proteins move as they drive the chemical reactions that sustain life is one of the grand challenges of modern ...
When it comes to making groundbreaking discoveries in particle physics, scientists rely on large particle accelerators to conduct advanced experiments. These powerful machines use long tracks and ...
A team of engineers and scientists has shown for the first time that a hard-X-ray cavity can provide net X-ray gain, with ...
Hamburg-based researchers have developed a system that generates better X-ray pulses at the European X-Ray Free-Electron ...
An international team of scientists headed by Dr. Lukas Bruder, junior research group leader at the Institute of Physics, University of Freiburg, has succeeded in producing and directly controlling ...
Some of the X-ray radiation circulating in the cavity is allowed to escape downstream, providing a beam of monochromatic and coherent X-ray pulses. They have called their system X-ray Free-Electron ...
Schematics of the all-optical nonlinear Compton scattering experiment showing laser-driven electron acceleration, electron-laser collision, and Compton scattering to produce gamma rays. In a ...
Researchers have developed a new technique to view living mammalian cells. The team used a powerful laser, called a soft X-ray free electron laser, to emit ultrafast pulses of illumination at the ...
A team led by scientists at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have generated a highly exotic type of light beam, called a Poincaré beam, using the FERMI free-electron ...
An international research team has controlled hybrid electron-photon quantum states in helium atoms. Control of these special quantum states was enabled by the pulse formation of very intense, extreme ...
