The understanding of complex many-body dynamics in laser-driven polyatomic molecules is crucial for any attempt to steer ...

X-ray “molecular movies” reveal how intense lasers tear apart C60 molecules and push us closer to directing chemical reactions with light.

Soon, researchers may be able to create movies of their favorite protein or virus better and faster than ever before. Researchers at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory ...

A series of five new images from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory show the beauty of space as seen in the X-ray wavelength. Data from Chandra has been combined with data from other telescopes ...

A new study shows that the recently developed Compact Light Source (CLS) - a commercial X-ray source with roots in research and development efforts at the Department of Energy's SLAC National ...

Astronomers have mapped out half the universe in X-ray light, using a space telescope called eROSITA. The new map, which contains almost a million X-ray sources, is the basis of dozens of new ...

It's probably not realistic to call a supermassive black hole "quiet." But, as far as these things go, the one at the center of our galaxy is pretty quiet. Yes, it emits enough energy that we can ...

A frothy breakthrough at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), using lasers with a silver metal foam that's as light as air, has created the brightest yet X-ray source ever, twice as ...

Two weeks before the highly anticipated launch of the James Webb Space Telescope on Christmas day last year, NASA put a different telescope into space. The Earth-orbiting Imaging X-ray Polarimetry ...

NASA's newly-launched X-ray hunting probe has snapped its first science image and — wow — it's spectacular. The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) probe launched Dec. 9, 2021, on a mission to ...
