First published results from new X-ray laser

With the publication of the first experimental measurements performed at the facility, the European X-ray Free-Electron Laser (EuXFEL) has passed another critical milestone since its launch in September 2017. It is the first of a "next generation" of XFELs that offer much more rapid data collection than was possible before. As the EuXFEL delivers X-ray pulses at the almost unbelievable rate of one million pulses per second, experimental measurements can be completed more quickly, allowing more e...
