X-ray laser studies help researchers identify early steps in the freezing process to better understand how clouds make ice and their effect on climate.

They used synthetic diamond crystals as mirrors to make X-ray pulses run laps inside a vacuum chamber, demonstrating a key process needed for future generations of performance-enhanced X-ray lasers.     

Line intensity mapping measurements taken with a new instrument will allow astrophysicists to study galaxies too far away for traditional methods.

Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time will revolutionize Solar System science by revealing a population of previously undiscovered interstellar comets and asteroids passing through our cosmic neighborhood.

Leora Dresselhaus-Marais, Claudio Emma,  Bernhard Mistlberger and Johanna Nelson Weker will pursue cutting-edge research into decarbonizing steel production, theoretical physics, generating more intense particle beams, and improving X-ray microscopes.

Bringing ultrafast physics to structural biology has revealed the coordinated dance of molecules in unprecedented clarity, which could aid in the design of new light-responsive materials.

How does sunscreen work on the atomic level?

The facility is now one step away from releasing an unprecedented stream of ultra-bright X-rays.

The long – but not too long – cavity would ping-pong X-ray pulses inside of a particle accelerator facility to help capture nature’s fastest movements.

The reanalysis considered new types of particle collisions and how dark matter particles interact with the Earth.
