Lasers are cool, but x-ray lasers are cooler. Until now, the only x-ray lasers to ever exist have required so much power that their infrastructure took up the same amount of space as sports ...

For nearly half a century, scientists have been trying to figure out how to build a cost-effective and reasonably sized X-ray laser that could, among other things, provide super high-resolution ...

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 ...
