In a step toward making ultrabright X-ray sources more widely available, an international collaboration led by the University of Michigan—with experiments at the U.K.'s Central Laser Facility—has ...

Ice-cold electron beams could pave the way to reducing X-ray free-electron lasers (X-FELs) to a fraction of their current size. Ice-cold electron beams simulated in research at the University of ...

XPP, the X-ray Pump Probe instrument at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), is back online and welcoming researchers ...

At ASU's Biodesign Institute in building C, there's a 3D-printed model of a machine in the basement. Signs around the model say "fragile" and "do not touch." But Mark Holl picks up a piece of it ...

The copper target was operated at voltages of 11 kV, 12 kV, 13 kV, and 14 kV for the electron source, and a 50 kV configuration using a molybdenum target was used as a representative example for the ...

These ultra-bright high-energy X-rays can be used to image and study extremely dense matter, like the plasmas created during inertial confinement fusion. The team's work was recently published in ...

While synchrotron radiation is often thought of as "stable," the electromagnetic field exhibits pronounced randomly fluctuating distributions both temporally and spatially. These fluctuations encode ...

Bruker AXS Inc. has announced its new MICROSTAR ULTRA II, the next version of the 2007 R&D Award winning MICROSTAR ULTRA ultra-bright X-ray source for structural biology. It’s new ULTRA FOCUSTM ...

Researchers have directly observed, for the first time, transverse intensity fluctuations, called 'spikes', in synchrotron light. (Nanowerk News) While synchrotron radiation is often thought of as ...
