To Illuminate Atomic, Molecular Interactions

Ultra-short X-ray beams produced at the University of Michigan, USA could one day serve as more sensitive medical diagnostic tools, and they could work like strobe lights to allow researchers to observe chemical reactions that happen in quadrillionths of a second. moreFeb. 24, 2010

Open Doors to New Technologies

For nearly half a century, scientists have been trying to figure out how to build a cost-effective and reasonably sized X-ray laser that could, among other things, provide super high-resolution imaging. And for the past two decades, University of Colorado at Boulder (USA) physics professors Margaret Murnane and Henry Kapteyn have been inching closer to that goal. more
