X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) are advanced light sources that generate highly intense and coherent X-ray beams using accelerated electrons. They enable scientists to study matter at the atomic level with extremely high resolution and time resolution, allowing researchers to capture dynamic processes in real-time, which is particularly important for time-resolved crystallography.
congrats on reading the definition of X-ray free-electron lasers. now let's actually learn it.
