Lasers to Open Doors?
March 2nd, 2010 · No Comments · Physics
Scientists are currently developing an effective tabletop X-ray. This will help us explore the single cell nano world or get high resolution X-ray images. Their goal is “to create a laser beam that contains a broad range of X-ray wavelengths all at once that can be focused both in time and space”. This an overlooked [...]
