A team of engineers and scientists has shown for the first time that a hard-X-ray cavity can provide net X-ray gain, with X-ray pulses being circulated between crystal mirrors and amplified in the ...

(Nanowerk News) Exploring the extreme conditions reached in the interior of planets, including Earth, or during a fusion reaction, is a major challenge. By focusing the extremely powerful X-ray laser ...

Scientists have, for the first time, successfully studied liquid carbon in the lab by combining a powerful high-performance laser with the European XFEL x-ray laser. The experiment captured fleeting ...

Warm dense matter occurs inside Jupiter-type giant planets (where it surrounds the rocky core as a metallic liquid at a temperature of many thousands of kelvin) and in the interiors of small stars – ...

Researchers have been able to measure liquid carbon experimentally for the first time. They combined a high-power laser with the ultrashort X-ray laser flash of the European XFEL. With the declared ...

The European XFEL in Hamburg is one of the world's most powerful X-ray lasers. A new system called XFELO makes it possible to generate X-ray flashes with photons of very precisely defined energy. This ...

Following the Long Installation and Maintenance Period, research at the world's largest X-ray laser will resume shortly. European XFEL today celebrated the restart of the world's largest X-ray laser ...
