Designs on Ultra-bright X-rays

摘要

SCIENTISTS WORKING for the US Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) are using the X-Ray Science Division's on-site Advanced Photon Source (APS) 7-BM beamline and novel computer simulations to peer through the steel of an engine's fuel injector, The APS produces ultra-bright X-rays; more than a million times brighter than those used in medical applications. Without that brightness of light it's not possible to see what's going on inside a device.
