X‐ray optics has emerged as a critical field in modern imaging and fabrication, utilising refractive lenses that enable the precise control and focusing of X‐ray beams. Refractive lenses, particularly ...

cosine and the European Space Agency (ESA) have signed the next stage of the development contract regarding Silicon Pore Optics (SPO) X-ray mirrors for the Athena mission. This step aims to further ...

Scientists have developed a ground-breaking achromatic lens for X-rays. This allows the X-ray beams to be accurately focused on a single point even if they have different wavelengths. The new lens ...

Once only a part of science fiction, lasers are now everyday objects used in research, health care and even just for fun. Previously available only in low-energy light, lasers are now available in ...

Tightly focused XFEL pulses are directed at a sample made of copper or manganese. Any X-ray photons that the sample emits in the same forward direction as the input pulse hit a piece of ...
