The ultrafast, ultrabright X-ray pulses of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) have enabled unprecedented views of a catalyst in action, an important step in the effort to develop cleaner and more efficient energy sources.

SSRL’s X-rays  uncovered a 6th century translation of a book by the Greek-Roman doctor Galen, allowing the hidden text to be read for the first time in a thousand years.

By detecting minute traces of original pigments in fossils, X-ray imaging at synchrotrons has given scientists the chemical evidence needed to discover the actual colors of ancient life forms.
