A beam of electrons crossed just a few millimeters of plasma, then helped trigger an effect that usually belongs to massive ...

Using high-intensity lasers, researchers have taken an important step toward miniaturization of particle accelerators by ...

Many advances in structural science since the 1970s were made by probing materials with synchrotron radiation: that is, high energy X-rays generated through accelerating high-energy electrons. The ...

A technological milestone has been achieved at the Fritz Haber Institute (FHI) of the Max Planck Society in Berlin. For the first time, an infrared Free-Electron Laser (FEL) has been operated in a two ...

Free-electron lasers (FELs) represent a transformative technology in the generation of coherent X-ray pulses that are both remarkably bright and ultrashort in duration. By utilising relativistic ...

Representation of domain walls within a ferromagnetic layered material. New research shows that when these materials are hit with a free electron laser, magnetic domain walls move much faster than ...

A string of recent experiments has moved desktop-scale particle accelerators from theoretical curiosity to working prototypes ...

Researchers have developed a new technique to view living mammalian cells. The team used a powerful laser, called a soft X-ray free electron laser, to emit ultrafast pulses of illumination at the ...

Relativistic electron bunches were generated via the incidence of a high power laser onto a gas jet. The TR radiation emitted when electron passing through a metal foil was imaged to an EO crystal.

X-rays are a powerful form of electromagnetic radiation widely used in science, medicine, and ...
