TLDR
The Linac Coherent Light Source free-electron laser has achieved coherent X-ray generation down to a wavelength of 1.2 A and at a brightness that is nearly ten orders of magnitude higher than conventional synchrotrons.Abstract:
The Linac Coherent Light Source free-electron laser has now achieved coherent X-ray generation down to a wavelength of 1.2 A and at a brightness that is nearly ten orders of magnitude higher than conventional synchrotrons. Researchers detail the first operation and beam characteristics of the system, which give hope for imaging at atomic spatial and temporal scales.read more

Potential for biomolecular imaging with femtosecond X-ray pulses
TL;DR: Computer simulations are used to investigate the structural information that can be recovered from the scattering of intense femtosecond X-ray pulses by single protein molecules and small assemblies and predict that ultrashort, high-intensity X-rays from free-electron lasers that are currently under development will provide a new approach to structural determinations with X- rays.
