Our results give us, for the first time, the possibility to understand the interaction between just two electrons placed next to each other in a carbon…
“The free electron laser oscillator (X-FELO) we are proposing can create x-rays up to one hundred million times brighter than currently operating machines,”…
“It is with great pride and a lot of joy that I announce today that we have found proof that this hard bright material is really water ice and not some other…
