The ASU team set out to develop the first compact X-ray free electron laser, or CXFEL. A dramatically smaller and less ...

Dual-laser system and plasma channel generation ... They could also power advanced free-electron lasers, enabling scientists to study materials and biological processes at the atomic level.

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 ...

The most powerful ultrashort electron beam ever created offers new possibilities for recreating cosmic conditions in ...

To solve this issue, SLAC researchers compressed billions of electrons into a length less than one micrometer using a ...

The researchers used the world’s largest and most powerful X-ray laser: the European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser (European XFEL) located in Schenefeld near Hamburg, Germany. This facility features ...

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 ...
