Non-linear optics meets X-rays
The recent advent of femtosecond X-ray sources offers unprecedented opportunities for structural and dynamical studies. It requires, however, manipulating spectral properties, as commonly done by non-linear optics at visible/infrared wavelengths. Her.....»»
Researchers measure boron flux in high-energy cosmic rays with the CALorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET)
Cosmic rays (CR) constitute high-energy particles that mainly originate outside our solar system. These primary CR interact with interstellar matter to produce secondary CR. The secondary nature of their origin is reflected in the higher abundance of.....»»
Researchers propose combining classical and quantum optics for super-resolution imaging
The ability to see invisible structures in our bodies, like the inner workings of cells, or the aggregation of proteins, depends on the quality of one's microscope. Ever since the first optical microscopes were invented in the 17th century, scientist.....»»
Quantum simulator enables first microscopic observation of charge carriers pairing
Using a quantum simulator, researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) have observed pairs of charge carriers that may be responsible for the resistance-free transport of electric current in high-temperature superconductors. So fa.....»»

A new, better technology for X-ray laser pulses
The X-rays used to examine a broken leg in hospital are easy to produce. In industry, however, X-ray radiation of a completely different kind is needed—namely, X-ray laser pulses that are as short and high-energy as possible. They are used, for exa.....»»
