Scientists achieve shortest hard X-ray pulses to date

University of Wisconsin-Madison
Peer-Reviewed Publication

An international collaboration led by scientists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison has generated the shortest hard X-ray pulses to date through the first demonstration of strong lasing phenomena. The resulting pulses can lead to several potential applications, from quantum X-ray optics to visualizing electron motion inside molecules.
