Recent results from the world's most powerful hard X-ray laser
Recent results from the world's most powerful hard X-ray laser, located at the Office of Science's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, show its unique ability to control deeply bound interior electrons within atoms and molecules - in some cases creating hollow atoms. The science was featured in the July 5, 2010 issue of the New York Times.
