style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New
Roman","serif";color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Ever
since the invention of the laser over 50 years ago,
scientists have been striving to create an x-ray version of
the laser. The x-ray sources we currently use in medicine,
security screening, and science are in essence the same
x-ray light bulb source that Röntgen discovered in 1895. In
the same way that visible lasers can concentrate light
energy far better than a light bulb, a directed beam of
x-rays would have many useful applications in science and
technology. The problem was that until recently, we needed
ridiculously high power levels to make an x-ray laser. The
first successful x-ray laser experiments were, in fact,
powered by nuclear detonations as as part of the “star wars”
program in the 1980s. To make a practical, tabletop-scale,
x-ray laser source required taking a very different approach
that involves transforming a beam of light from a visible
laser into a beam of x-rays. The story behind how this
happened is surprising and beautiful, highlighting how
powerful our ability is to manipulate nature at a quantum
level. Along the way, we also learned to generate the
shortest strobe light in existence - fast enough to capture
even the fleeting dance of electrons in the nanoworld. This
new capability shows promise for
next-generation electronics, data and energy storage
devices, and future medical diagnostics. <i>(Popmintchev et
