A world-leading UK research project to study the properties of new materials has been given further funding of £3.4M. The grant is for the continued operation of the British funded X-ray Beamline ( ...

X-rays have fundamentally revolutionized healthcare, giving us views of the human body and even almost impossible views of atoms. However, the radiation involved in X-rays has often raised concerns ...

Scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have, for the first time, demonstrated a technique that synchronizes ultrashort X-ray pulses at the X-ray free-electron laser SwissFEL. This achievement ...

Researchers at Nanyang Technological University have demonstrated that ordinary graphite flakes, some as thin as 10 nanometers, can produce tunable soft X-rays in the “water window,” a narrow band of ...

Within the 3D structure of proteinase K, scientists are able to see details of sulphur and calcium atoms within the protein structure, highlighted in yellow. Since their discovery 125 years ago, ...

For the first time, researchers can study the microstructures inside metals, ceramics and rocks with X-rays in a standard laboratory without needing to travel to a particle accelerator, according to ...

At SwissFEL, PSI researchers demonstrated a technique known as mode-locking, which allows fully coherent, ultrashort X-ray pulses to be produced. In the photo, several undulator modules are visible ...
