X‐ray optics and telescope mirror technology form the backbone of high-energy astrophysical research, enabling the capture and precise imaging of celestial X‐ray sources. Advances in the fabrication ...

Recent testing has shown that super-thin, lightweight X-ray mirrors made of a material commonly used to make computer chips can meet the stringent imaging requirements of next-generation X-ray ...

X-ray mirrors are widely used for synchrotron radiation facilities, X-ray free-electron lasers and astronomical X-ray telescopes. The short wavelength and grazing incidence impose strict limits on the ...

X-ray mirrors which can be made of polished glass ceramics, are given a coat of metal to produce an X-ray reflection. Smooth metallic surfaces like this can reflect X-rays at shallow angles, which may ...

(Nanowerk News) A new laser speckle angular measurement (SAM) technique detailed in a paper in Light: Science and Applications, published today demonstrates how slope ...
