ATHOS delivers softer X-ray light with lower energy, making it possible to observe atoms and molecules as they form a new chemical bond.
Doing so created, at the same time, a so-called alkaline grassland biotope that serves as a natural habitat for many endangered plants and animals.
[9] SwissFEL essentially consists of four components: an electron source, a linear accelerator, an arrangement of undulators, and measuring stations.
The course of catalytic reactions can be followed on the atomic level in order to optimise them and thus improve resource efficiency in environmental technology or the chemical industry.
Biomedical scientists can observe in detail the structure of vital proteins and their reactions to substances, in order to develop new drugs.
