Radiation damage is still the most limiting factor in obtaining high-resolution structures of
macromolecules in crystallographic experiments at synchrotrons. With the advent of X-ray …

Proteins that contain metal cofactors are expected to be highly radiation sensitive since the
degree of X-ray absorption correlates with the presence of high-atomic-number elements …

To understand how molecules function in biological systems, new methods are required to
obtain atomic resolution structures from biological material under physiological conditions …

The bright ultrafast pulses of X-ray Free-Electron Lasers allow investigation into the structure
of matter under extreme conditions. We have used single pulses to ionize and probe water …

Phase change characteristics of thin film liquid argon subjected to ultrafast boundary heating
for different liquid film thicknesses (3 nm~ 6 nm), boundary heating rates (8× 10 9 K/s~ 320× …

We describe a method to compute photon–matter interaction and atomic dynamics with x-ray
lasers using a hybrid code based on classical molecular dynamics and collisional-radiative …

Our understanding of life is based upon the interpretation of macromolecular structures and
their dynamics. Almost 90% of currently known macromolecular models originated from …

The prospect of single particle imaging with atomic resolution is one of the scientific drivers
for the development of X-ray free-electron lasers. The assumption since the beginning has …

Liquid-vapor phase change characteristics over nanoporous substrates with different
surface morphologies as well as wettability variations have been investigated in the present …

Current hard X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) sources can deliver doses to biological
macromolecules well exceeding 1 GGy, in timescales of a few tens of femtoseconds. During …
