An X-ray laser with firepower
Abstract:
By learning more about how matter behaves at the nanoscale and in ultrafast time intervals, scientists hope to gain an ability to manipulate matter to unprecedented degrees. That could lead to breakthroughs such as revolutionary new materials with unprecedented combinations of properties for a host of applications in energy, transportation, information technology, medicine and other fields. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act provided $53.6 million to speed up construction of scientific instruments for the LCLS, as well as to develop an a new instrument.
