X-ray spectroscopy plays a pivotal role in understanding the geometric and electronic structures of countless molecules and materials, from homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts to biological active ...

The work points toward a future in which X-ray beamlines, such as those at the APS, are more autonomous and better able to track complex chemical reactions as they happen. “This brings us closer to ...

The many-body interaction of charges (electrons) and nuclei (phonons) plays a critical role in determining the properties and functionalities of molecules and solids. The exact correlated motion of ...

Free-electron lasers and high-harmonic-generation table-top systems are new sources of extreme-ultraviolet to hard X-ray photons, providing ultrashort pulses that are intense, coherent and tunable.

What is X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS)? X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) is a powerful analytical technique that probes the local atomic and electronic structure of materials by measuring the ...
