  • X-ray fee-electron lasers (XFELs) enable time-resolved crystallography experiments and the structure determination of proteins with little or no radiation damage. However currently it is unknown whether the designated 4.5 MHz maximum pulse rate for the European XFEL could lead to sample damage caused by shock waves from preceding pulses. Here, the authors address this question by performing a X-ray pump X-ray probe experiment on haemoglobin microcrystals at the Stanford XFEL facility that mimics the 4.5 MHz data collection mode and observe structural changes and a drop in diffraction data quality of the crystals.

  • Optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction are used to study the freezing of water droplets in vacuum, leading to the development of a seven-stage model of freezing and the mapping of ice structures and crystal order.

  • The European X-ray free-electron laser (EuXFEL) in Hamburg is the first megahertz (MHz) repetition rate XFEL. Here the authors use lysozyme crystals and microcrystals from jack bean proteins and demonstrate that damage-free high quality data can be collected at a MHz repetition rate.

  • Researchers demonstrate fast optical focusing using an oscillating liquid lens. The method could lead to the development of three-dimensional imaging instruments with rapid data collection.

  • Electron-phonon interaction is essential for understanding electronic and optical properties of lead halide perovskites. Here, using multiphonon Raman scattering and THz time-domain spectroscopy, the authors characterize the full phonon spectrum of CsPbBr3 and identify a single phonon mode that dominates electron-phonon scattering.

  • X-ray-induced explosions in water drops, examined using time-resolved imaging, show interacting high-speed liquid and vapour flows. This type of X-ray absorption dynamics is predictable and may be used for inducing particular dynamical liquid states.

  • The new European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser (EuXFEL) is the first XFEL that generates X-ray pulses with a megahertz inter-pulse spacing. Here the authors demonstrate that high-quality and damage-free protein structures can be obtained with the currently available 1.1 MHz repetition rate pulses using lysozyme as a test case and furthermore present a β-lactamase structure.
