Physicists have finally done what once sounded like science fiction: they have read the X-ray “fingerprint” of a single atom, isolating the signal of one of nature’s smallest building blocks from the ...

Scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have, for the first time, demonstrated a technique that synchronizes ultrashort X-ray pulses at the X-ray free-electron laser SwissFEL. This achievement ...

X-rays have fundamentally revolutionized healthcare, giving us views of the human body and even almost impossible views of atoms. However, the radiation involved in X-rays has often raised concerns ...

For the first time, researchers can study the microstructures inside metals, ceramics and rocks with X-rays in a standard laboratory without needing to travel to a particle accelerator, according to ...

Lobster-eye satellite Einstein Probe captured the X-ray flash from a very elusive celestial pair. The discovery opens a new way to explore how massive stars interact and evolve, confirming the unique ...

Within the 3D structure of proteinase K, scientists are able to see details of sulphur and calcium atoms within the protein structure, highlighted in yellow. Since their discovery 125 years ago, ...

(THE CONVERSATION) X-ray beams aren’t used just by doctors to see inside your body and tell whether you have a broken bone. More powerful beams made up of very short flashes of X-rays can help ...

Menlo Park, Calif. — The Department of Energy (DOE) has given the green light for construction to begin on a high-energy upgrade that will further boost the performance of the Linac Coherent Light ...

Astronomers continue to stress the value of X-ray science as NASA's flagship Chandra X-ray telescope remains on the chopping block. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
