MENLO PARK, Calif. (KGO) -- The world's most powerful X-ray laser is located at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in the Bay Area, and it's about to become even more powerful. According to Mike ...

A team of engineers and scientists has shown for the first time that a hard-X-ray cavity can provide net X-ray gain, with X-ray pulses being circulated between crystal mirrors and amplified in the ...

With dual lasers, researchers have accelerated a high-quality beam of electrons to 10 billion electronvolts in just 30 centimeters. The experiment gives scientists a 'frame-by-frame' look at how a ...

Scientists demonstrated X-ray four-wave mixing to track correlated electron motion, revealing how energy and information move inside atoms and molecules. Much of the behaviour of matter arises not ...

t particle accelerator facilities around the world, scientists rely on powerful X-rays to reveal the structure and behavior of atoms and molecules. Now, researchers from the Department of Energy’s ...

Scientists have used a pair of lasers and a supersonic sheet of gas to accelerate electrons to high energies in less than a foot. The development marks a major step forward in laser-plasma ...
