Single particle imaging at x-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) has the potential to determine
the structure and dynamics of single biomolecules at room temperature. Two major hurdles …

The science of X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) critically depends on the performance of
the X-ray laser and on the quality of the samples placed into the X-ray beam. The stability of …

We present the generation of x-ray pulses with average pulse energies up to one millijoule
and rms pulse durations down to the femtosecond level. We have produced these intense …

We report on the status of a users' end-station, MAC: a Multipurpose station for Atomic,
molecular and optical sciences and Coherent diffractive imaging, designed for studies of …

Directly observing atomic motions in molecules during chemical dynamics has long
constituted one of the grand challenges in chemistry. 1 The emergence of X-ray free …

This work investigates the performance of the electrospray aerosol generator at the
European X-ray Free Electron Laser (EuXFEL). This generator is, together with an …

We have recorded the diffraction patterns from individual xenon clusters irradiated with
intense extreme ultraviolet pulses to investigate the influence of light-induced electronic …

High-intensity ultrashort X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) pulses are revolutionizing the study
of fundamental nonlinear x-ray matter interactions and coupled electronic and nuclear …

The nature of transient electronic states created by photoabsorption critically determines the
dynamics of the subsequently evolving system. Here, we investigate K-shell photoionized …

A well-characterized wavefront is important for many x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL)
experiments, especially for single-particle imaging (SPI), where individual biomolecules …
