Researchers make key gains in unlocking the promise of compact X-ray free-electron lasersNew research by scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), in collaboration with scientists from TAU Systems Inc., has brought the promise of smaller and more affordable X-ray free-electron lasers one step closer to reality.

Simulating the Hawking effect and other quantum field theory predictions with polariton fluidsQuantum field theory (QFT) is a physics framework that describes how particles and forces behave based on principles rooted in quantum mechanics and Albert Einstein's special relativity theory. This framework predicts the emergence of various remarkable effects in curved spacetimes, including Hawking radiation.
