Many advances in structural science since the 1970s were made by probing materials with synchrotron radiation: that is, high energy X-rays generated through accelerating high-energy electrons. The ...

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 ...

Attosecond science, honored with the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics, is transforming our understanding of how electrons move in atoms, molecules, and solids. An attosecond – equivalent to a billionth of ...

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 ...

Recent advances in electron density analysis and X‐ray diffraction studies have dramatically refined our understanding of atomic and molecular structures. By employing cutting‐edge techniques that ...

Researchers at Nanyang Technological University have demonstrated that ordinary graphite flakes, some as thin as 10 ...

Researchers explore how merging X-ray imaging and cryo-EM could enable real-time, high-resolution views of biology, advancing molecular films and drug design. By combining ideas and approaches ...

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 ...
