An international team of researchers from the European XFEL together with colleagues from the Max-Born Institute in Berlin, Universities of Berlin and Hamburg, The University of Tokyo, the Japanese...
- Charting the quantum landscape of hollow atoms
Researchers have identified exotic quantum states of heavy atoms missing up to six electrons in their core electron shells. The breakthrough was made possible by the unique capability offered by th... - Diamond sensor measures the position of individual X-ray flashes
Using a special diamond sensor, researchers at European XFEL have succeeded in precisely measuring the position of the extremely intense and short X-ray flashes generated by the facility-in a pulse... - New technique reveals insights on Vitamin B12
Researchers have implemented a new technique, based on the European XFEL's ultrashort pulses, to gain insights into two compounds featuring vitamin B12. B12 is an important compound in many biologi... - New imaging technique could shed light on individual molecules
An international research team has succeeded for the first time in using X-rays for an imaging technique that exploits a particular quantum property of light. The research team, led by Henry Chapma...
- New method to unveil biological processes
Developing our understanding of biological processes can lead to better treatments for disease. Now, an international team involving the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (European XFEL) has devel... - Molecule snapshot by explosion
Exploding a photo subject in order to take its picture? An international research team at the European XFEL used this "extreme" method to take pictures of complex molecules. The scientists used... - Racing against one of the fastest atomic processes
When an atom or molecule absorbs a high energy X-ray it may emit one of its core electrons. This excited state is unstable and can quickly relax by filling the core hole with an outer-lying electro...
- Filming antibiotic resistance in slow-motion
Using the X-ray laser European XFEL an international team of researchers has successfully filmed a reaction step that is important for the development of antibiotic resistance. The molecular film c... - Exploring Chirality with an X-ray Laser
An international team of scientists led by SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, European XFEL, and the University of Kassel performed a pioneering study on exploring chirality using ultrashort and... - Beaming in on Coronavirus details
User operation resumed at European XFEL end of March, and the first experiments to receive beamtime are those being carried out at the Single Particles, Clusters, and Biomolecules & Serial Femtosec... - A clear path to better insights into biomolecules
An international team of scientists, led by Kartik Ayyer from the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter, Germany, has obtained some of the sharpest possible 3D images of gol...
