X-ray laser takes 3D images of lopsided viruses. Oct 5, 20172017-10-05T14:50:35+0100 Slalom course: the LCLS undulator hall Extremely bright and short-lived pulses of X-rays from a free-electron laser have been used to generate 3D images of virus particles. Unlike existing methods, the technique can be used to identify asymmetries in the structure of biological molecules and could lead to the development of drugs that target molecules whose properties cannot be studied using conven...
