- Discovery of new iron oxides in the lower mantle of Earth
Using a special high-pressure chamber, scientists have discovered two new iron oxides in experiments at DESY's X-ray light source PETRA III and other facilities. The discovery points to a huge, hit...
- X-ray study allows improving the quality of chocolate
The study offers new insights into the formation of fat bloom, an unwelcome white layer that occasionally forms on chocolate. "Although fat blooming is perfectly harmless, it causes millions in dam... - Molecular structure of Spiegelmers resolved
Spiegelmers are a young group of promising pharmaceutical substances. They rely on the same building blocks as the nucleic acids RNA and DNA that fulfil various tasks in the organism - from storing... - X-ray study images structural damage in lithium-ion batteries
Charging lithium-ion batteries too quickly can permanently reduce the battery capacity. Portions of the energy storage structure are thereby destroyed and deactivated. These structural changes have... - Plumbonacrite revealed as intermediate in degradation of red lead
Red lead is most familiar to us in orange-red rustproof paint. Artists have treasured the brilliant color of this pigment for their paintings since ancient times. However, various ageing processes ...
- X-ray stroboscope offers new insights into biomolecular dynamics
Researchers from Göttingen in collaboration with colleagues from Augsburg have 'filmed' the movement of lipid molecules using an X-ray stroboscope at DESY. In the scientific journal Physical Revie... - X-ray study reveals workings of potential alternative to antibiotics
Research at DESY's X-ray light source PETRA III reveals how certain viruses called bacteriophages kill the potentially life threatening diarrhoea bacterium Clostridium difficile. The study by scien... - A new way to analyse delicate biomolecules
Using DESY's synchrotron light source PETRA III, scientists have pioneered a new way to analyse delicate biomolecules. The novel approach, borrowed from a new class of high-intensity X-ray sources ... - Observing electron clouds, scientists could improve chemical processes
With the help of an X-ray laser, a team of international researchers-including scientists from European XFEL, a new major science facility in the Hamburg metropolitan area, DESY, and the Max Planck... - New pulse monitor advances data analysis at X-ray free-electron lasers
Researchers from DESY and the U.S. SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have developed a new tool to measure individual pulses of X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) with unprecedented time resoluti... - Happy Birthday, synchrotron!
The particle accelerator Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron celebrates its birthday. Exactly 50 years ago, electrons completely circled the newly built ring accelerator DESY for the first time. This ... - Faster X-ray technology paves the way for better catalysts
By using a novel X-ray technique, researchers have observed a catalyst surface at work in real time and were able to resolve its atomic structure in detail. The new technique, pioneered at DESY's X...
- Europe's new X-ray laser reaches important milestone
An important milestone was reached on Germany's largest science construction site: the underground civil engineering work for the X-ray laser European XFEL has been completed, and the underground c...
