NASA’s IXPE identifies the source of X-rays in the black hole jet of galaxy 3C 84, confirming inverse Compton scattering and ...

Two composite images show side-by-side observations of the Perseus Cluster from NASA's IXPE (Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry ...

The first X-ray portrait of comet 3I/ATLAS has turned a rare interstellar visitor into a powerful new probe of the space between the stars. By catching the comet in high-energy light, ESA’s XMM-Newton ...

Water is all around us, yet its surface layer—home to chemical reactions that shape life on Earth—is surprisingly hard to study. Experiments at SLAC's X-ray laser are bringing it into focus.

XRISM’s Xtend telescope captured the first X-ray image of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, revealing a faint X-ray glow and ...

Photons, for centuries both a puzzle and a tool, continue to help scientists illuminate nature at the smallest and largest ...

To investigate such double core-hole states in highly ionized Krypton, a colorless, odorless gas found in trace amounts in Earth’s atmosphere, the researchers at the European XFEL used 5,000 intense X ...

Scientists use European XFEL’s fast X-ray pulses for doubly resonant ionisation of krypton.

Physicists have managed to simulate a strange quantum phenomenon where light appears to arise from empty space a concept that until now has only existed in theory. Using cutting-edge simulations, ...

“You’re glowing” is a well-known complimentary phrase meant to convey a perceived level of health, happiness, or other biological condition—pregnancies often inspire the platitude, for example. But in ...

If photons possess more quantum states than expected, it would overhaul our understanding of all particle physics – and now physicists have identified a way to test this radical idea in an experiment.
