A FEL creates X-rays by the rapid back-and-forth acceleration of fast-moving electron pulses using a series of magnets called an undulator. These X-rays are emitted at a narrow wavelength and then ...

Simulations and experiments indicate that the low-density amorphous ice found on comets and icy moons is not, in fact, ...

Writing about women in science remains an important and worthwhile thing to do. That’s the premise that underlies Women in ...
