Construction Begins on Major Upgrade to World’s Brightest X-ray Laser

Image - An electron beam travels through a niobium cavity, a key component of a future LCLS-II X-ray laser, in this illustration. Kept at minus 456 degrees Fahrenheit, these cavities will power a highly energetic electron beam that will create up to 1 million X-ray flashes per second.

Berkeley Lab Working on Key Components for LCLS-II X-ray Lasers

Image - A prototype LCLS-II undulator, which is designed to wiggle electrons so that they emit brilliant X-ray light, undergoes magnetic measurements testing at Berkeley Lab. (Credit: Roy Kaltschmidt/Berkeley Lab)

Revealing the Fluctuations of Flexible DNA in 3-D

Illustration: In a Berkeley Lab-led study, flexible double-helix DNA segments connected to gold nanoparticles are revealed from the 3-D density maps (purple and yellow) reconstructed from individual samples using a Berkeley Lab-developed technique called individual-particle electron tomography or IPET. Projections of the structures are shown in the background grid. (Credit: Berkeley Lab)
