x-ray laser
LCLS X-ray laser takes snapshots of important reaction 1,000 times faster than ever before
New system sprang from a desire to better preserve ribosome crystals
X-ray laser measures atomic-scale details of how ring-shaped gas molecule breaks open, unravels.
Inspired by 1970s method, Stanford scientists find a way to go back and improve past scientific results.
Experiment compiles hundreds of images, reveals inner details of intact ‘mimivirus.’
Ultrafast Imaging of Complex Systems in 3-D at Near Atomic Resolution Becoming Increasingly Possible
It is becoming possible to image complex systems in 3-D with near-atomic resolution on ultrafast timescales using extremely intense X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) pulses.
A research team led by physicists at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) has proven a method that makes it possible to find the atomic structure of proteins in action by producing “snapshots” of them with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution
‘Dechirper’ will give scientists more control over ‘color spectrum’ of LCLS X-ray pulses.
