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

Many biologically important molecules change shape when stimulated by UV radiation. Although this property can also be found in some drugs, it is not yet well understood. Using an innovative technique ...

Located in Hamburg, Germany, this cutting-edge facility is home to the world’s largest and most powerful X-ray laser. Axions ...

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 ...

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

Scientists in China have created a satellite with laser-imaging technology powerful enough to capture human facial details from more than 60 miles (100 kilometers) away. This breakthrough ...

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 ...

The scientists have captured high-resolution CT scans of the interior of a large, dense object -- a gas turbine blade -- using a compact, laser-driven X-ray source. The work is part of a larger ...
