Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! 🌊🦅

Taken by our 144-megapixel engineering test camera, this image of the Seagull Nebula commemorates two years since we first began on-sky testing at @VRubinObs.

Setting new records is hard.

Our X-ray laser has done it again – a new record for the shortest high-energy pulses ever generated by an X-ray free electron laser. These “hard” attosecond X-ray pulses clock in at mere billionths of a billionth of a second: stanford.io/4jyWyvJ

How do we protect an open cryomodule from dust and dirt?

The same way you keep your hair dry in the shower, just perhaps slightly larger. Meet our “shower cap” (yes, we call it that), which keeps out contamination that would otherwise interfere with electrons accelerated within.

Using @SLAClab’s Linac Coherent Light Source, researchers created “molecular movies” of an enzyme linked to cancer and another essential to penicillin production. The findings could inform future drug development.

Numerical simulations turned into striking scenes. This sequence follows the formation of the cosmic web in a region about 500 million lightyears across. The black shapes are filaments of dark matter, and their intersections host massive clusters of galaxies, shown in yellow.

The BOAT

The brightest-of-all-time gamma-ray burst erupted #OTD in 2022. It promptly saturated most of the gamma-ray detectors in orbit, including those on ‌NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope.
