A team of researchers has successfully demonstrated how machine-learning tools can improve the stability of light beams' size for science experiments at a synchrotron light source via adjustments that ...

The Therac-25 was not a device anyone was happy to see. It was a radiation therapy machine. In layman’s terms it was a “cancer zapper”; a linear accelerator with a human as its target. Using X-rays or ...

The world’s most powerful X-ray laser beam has been used to create a microscopic “black hole.” The machine uses extremely bright, fast flashes of light to take atomic-level snapshots of some of nature ...
