The LSST’s camera will include a filter-changing mechanism and shutter. This animation shows that mechanism at work, which allows the camera to view different wavelengths; the camera is capable of viewing light from near-ultraviolet to near-infrared (0.3-1 μm) wavelengths.
This movie introduces LCLS-II, a future light source at SLAC. It will generate over 8,000 times more light pulses per second than today’s most powerful X-ray laser, LCLS, and produce an almost continuous X-ray beam that on average will be...
Researchers around the world pursue three approaches to look for fingerprints of dark matter's ghostly components: on the Earth’s surface, underground and in space.
This illustration shows how an ultrabright X-ray laser pulse vaporizes part of a liquid jet, creating umbrella-shaped films of liquid and sending shock waves through the jet.
