Atomic inner-shell X-ray laser at 1.46 nanometres pumped by an X-ray free-electron laser

TL;DR: The implementation of an X-ray laser in the kiloelectronvolt energy regime, based on atomic population inversion and driven by rapid K-shell photo-ionization using pulses from anX-ray free-electron laser is described, which provides greatly increased wavelength stability, monochromaticity and improved temporal coherence by comparison with present-day X- Ray free-Electron lasers.

Opto-acoustic thrombolysis

TL;DR: In this paper, a catheter-based device for generating an ultrasound excitation in biological tissue was proposed, which can be used for the treatment of stroke-related conditions in humans, particularly for dissolving thrombus or treating vaspasm.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamics of biological molecules irradiated by short x-ray pulses.

TL;DR: A continuum model of the physics that leads to damage when a small particle absorbs a large x-ray dose is presented, and the main processes are found to be ionization and Coulomb-force driven atomic motion.
