An international research team from Germany, Switzerland and Japan has demonstrated in their recent work that a single ...

X-ray spectroscopy has emerged as a cornerstone of modern astrophysics, enabling direct measurement of the physical conditions in hot cosmic plasmas. By dispersing or calorimetrically measuring ...

The X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) has revealed the structure, motion and temperature of the material around a supermassive black hole and in a supernova remnant in unprecedented ...

EDS works by focusing an electron beam onto the sample, which causes the sample to emit X-rays. Each element emits X-rays at unique energy levels, allowing for the identification and quantification of ...

The work points toward a future in which X-ray beamlines, such as those at the APS, are more autonomous and better able to track complex chemical reactions as they happen. “This brings us closer to ...
