A First-of-Its-Kind Discovery with an XFEL

Using a Free Electron Laser (XFEL), a team of physicists has proven a method that makes it possible to find the atomic structure of proteins in action by producing "snapshots" of them with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. The experiment, done by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, has opened the door to discovering nearly all protein structures - information vital to fields like, health, food, drug discovery and energy.
