Sandia National Laboratories' Guillaume Loisel poses with Sandia's Z machine, where hands-on experiments contradicted a long-standing assumption about the X-ray spectra from the vicinity of black holes in space. Loisel is the lead author of a paper on the experimental results, published in Physical Review Letters. Click on the thumbnail for a high-resolution image.
