Goddard scientist Will Zhang (middle) is developing a new X-ray mirror made of silicon, which he believes will benefit the Lynx mission. Both he and Raul Riveros (left), who has helped advance the process, are holding curved mirrors they manufactured. Goddard technologist Vince Bly (right) began experimenting with the material as a potential mirror-making material several years ago.
