University of Vermont Physicists with Vacuum Chamber

Caption

University of Vermont physicists Jeff Ulbrandt and Randy Headrick have discovered a novel way to mix X-rays -- opening a new window onto atoms in motion. Using this vacuum chamber, they created thin films like those used in solar panels and LCD screens -- while shining X-rays on them at the Argonne National Laboratory. Within their gigabytes of data, the scientists found an unprecedented view of the messy motion of complex objects at the nanoscale.
