Special Delivery: First Shipment of Magnetic Devices for Next-Gen X-Ray Laser

Photo - Workers at KTC, a company in Buffalo, N.Y., prepare the first powerful magnetic devices known as soft X-ray undulator segments for the cross-country journey to SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park, Calif. Berkeley Lab is overseeing the development and delivery of these segments for use in the LCLS-II project, an upgrade to SLAC’s X-ray laser. (Credit: Keller Technology Corp./KTC)

How X-rays Pushed Topological Matter Research Over the Top
