FELs require a bright and stable source of high-energy electron bunches, so today’s facilities are driven by large and ...

When laser flashes hit matter, electrons are knocked off their orbits around the atomic nuclei. This can generate extremely ...

A newly published study in Physical Review Accelerators and Beams details a major milestone in accelerator physics: TAU Systems, working with researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, has ...

Free-electron lasers can be tuned to operate over a wide range of wavelengths, but they conventionally require large-scale ...

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

Scientists at the X-ray free-electron laser SwissFEL have realized a long-pursued experimental goal in physics: to show how electrons dance together. The technique, known as X-ray four-wave mixing, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Quantum materials exhibit remarkable emergent properties when they are excited by external sources. Functional applications of these properties rely heavily on their tunability in real time. However, ...
