Physicists have finally done what once sounded like science fiction: they have read the X-ray “fingerprint” of a single atom, isolating the signal of one of nature’s smallest building blocks from the ...

Within the 3D structure of proteinase K, scientists are able to see details of sulphur and calcium atoms within the protein structure, highlighted in yellow. Since their discovery 125 years ago, ...

Scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have, for the first time, demonstrated a technique that synchronizes ultrashort X-ray pulses at the X-ray free-electron laser SwissFEL. This achievement ...

The most recent CSC update adds more than 400,000 unique compact and extended X-ray sources, as well over 1.3 million ...

Astronomers continue to stress the value of X-ray science as NASA's flagship Chandra X-ray telescope remains on the chopping block. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

At SwissFEL, PSI researchers demonstrated a technique known as mode-locking, which allows fully coherent, ultrashort X-ray pulses to be produced. In the photo, several undulator modules are visible ...

New cathode materials are being developed to further increase the capacity of lithium batteries. Multilayer lithium-rich transition metal oxides (LRTMOs) offer particularly high energy density.

New bismuth-based organic-inorganic hybrid materials show exceptional sensitivity and long-term stability as X-ray detectors, significantly more sensitive than commercial X-ray detectors. In addition, ...
