Scientists armed with novel X-ray technology have confirmed a longstanding hypothesis that reveals the hidden forces behind ...

Argonne physicist Linda Young, a part-time professor at UChicago, has spent decades working on groundbreaking research in X-ray sciences—including the development of the X-ray free-electron laser—and ...

X-ray Physics & Quantum Optics Adriana Pálffy-Buß has developed theoretical models for the interaction of light and matter that focus on the atomic nucleus itself instead of the electrons.

Engineers at Brookhaven National Laboratory have designed a strange new X-ray microscope that takes advantage of the spooky world of quantum physics to “ghost image” biomolecules in high ...

Detailed X-ray images of the cosmos are key to answering these questions, and we have just marked 25 years since the launch of NASA’s flagship X-ray Observatory, Chandra, on July 23, 1999.

When light hits solar cells, so-called electron-hole pairs are created: the electrons are excited and can move almost freely ...

This experiment looks for axions, a particle which was proposed to solve a major problem in particle physics: why neutrons, although composed of smaller charged particles called quarks, do not ...
