That X-Ray Laser, called Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) gives researchers a look at the world like no other. The best minds from around the world apply to work with the laser to better ...

With favorable Critical Decisions 2 and 3 (CD-2/3) in September 2024, DOE has formally approved construction of the $716M project, representing a significant advancement in X-ray laser technology.

For self-seeding, the undulator is split into two pieces, the first of which is used to make an X-ray laser. A monochromator is then placed between the two undulators to select a narrow band ...

What are X-Ray Free-Electron Lasers? X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) are a revolutionary type of X-ray source that produce ultra-short, highly intense pulses of X-rays. Unlike conventional X-ray ...

US scientists create the world's brightest X-ray source using metal foam and the NIF laser, with potential applications in fusion energy.

The hard X-ray FEL has come of age. A free-electron laser is not like other lasers. It works by forcing a beam of electrons, travelling at nearly the speed of light, to oscillate in a long ...

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 ...
