Study involving X-ray imaging at Berkeley Lab provides clues to how artwork composed of oil paints can deteriorate over time

“We have used a tabletop, laser-based light source with pulses of X-rays at energies that have so far been limited only to large-facility sources," said researcher

At SLAC Synchrotron, two X-ray techniques give a 3-D view of why catalysts used in gasoline production go bad

To understand how molecules undergo light-driven chemical transformations, scientists need to be able to follow the atoms and electrons within the energized molecule as it rides on the energy "roller coaster"

Visible lasers offer exquisite control of x-ray light in a tabletop apparatus, potentially providing access to new insights to chemical reactions, proteins, and even atoms’ inner workings
