Two electrons unite to push laser X-rays beyond standard physics limits
Physicists at TU Wien and the University of California San Diego have found a way to generate X-rays with higher energies than standard theoretical limits permit. By synchronizing two electrons in helium atoms with ultraviolet laser pulses, the team triggered a combined energy release that creates unusually energetic photons. The scientific innovation challenges long-standing assumptions about how laser-driven radiation is generated at the atomic level.
