New Design for Compact Free-Electron Lasers Leads the Way Towards Exploiting Extremely Short Wavelengths

Physicists are greatly interested in free-electron lasers (FEL) because they are capable of generating high-intensity laser radiation across a very broad wavelength spectrum, even down to the extreme ultraviolet rays and x-rays. Worldwide, several multi-billion-dollar efforts are underway to build next-generation free-electron lasers at x-ray wavelengths.

How Defects Make Nano-Objects Better

They are extremely light, yet stronger than steel and more resilient than diamond. They are nearly unbeatable as heat and electricity conductors. In some cases, they even become superconductors with no electric resistance: carbon nanotubes are - at a diameter of a few millionths of a millimeter - truly a tiny wonder, and are awakening great hope in all branches of industry from metrology to optoelectronics.
