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 ...

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

For many decades, the method to obtain atomic-level descriptions of chemical compounds and materials—be it a drug, a catalyst ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Using intense X-rays, researchers captured a buckyball as it expanded, split and shed electrons under strong laser fields. Detailed scattering measurements showed how the molecule behaves at low, ...
