A team of researchers in Japan has engineered a mirror for X-rays that can be flexibly shaped, resulting in remarkable precision at the atomic level and increased stability. The new technology ...

X‐ray optics and telescope mirror technology form the backbone of high-energy astrophysical research, enabling the capture and precise imaging of celestial X‐ray sources. Advances in the fabrication ...

X-ray mirrors which can be made of polished glass ceramics, are given a coat of metal to produce an X-ray reflection. Smooth metallic surfaces like this can reflect X-rays at shallow angles, which may ...

A team of engineers and scientists has shown for the first time that a hard-X-ray cavity can provide net X-ray gain, with ...

t particle accelerator facilities around the world, scientists rely on powerful X-rays to reveal the structure and behavior of atoms and molecules. Now, researchers from the Department of Energy’s ...

Advanced space telescopes like the ones currently envisaged by NASA and collaborators require advanced mirrors for their operation. Making those high-resolution thin-shell coated mirrors remains ...

Some of the X-ray radiation circulating in the cavity is allowed to escape downstream, providing a beam of monochromatic and coherent X-ray pulses. They have called their system X-ray Free-Electron ...
