X-ray laser sets record for shortest high-energy pulses
Original: X-ray free-electron laser sets new record for shortest high-energy pulses
Researchers report that an X-ray free-electron laser has produced the shortest high-energy pulses ever recorded, a milestone in ultrafast science. Such pulses could let scientists watch electron motion and chemical reactions at unprecedented time resolution. The result, reported by Phys.org, is drawing attention within the physics and photonics community for what it means for future experiments at facilities like the European XFEL and LCLS.
Why now: A new world record for pulse duration is a notable technical achievement likely shared across science news outlets.
