Molecules vibrate and resonate. These vibrations enable life to function, they are believed to play a role in photosynthesis in plants and protein folding in general. BioXFEL participant and University at Buffalo physicist Andrea Markelz has recently been awarded $1.35 million in grants, from the Department of Energy and National Science Foundation, to research the nature these vibrations in protein, and to develop instrumentation that aids other researchers doing the same.

Scientists completing a new free-electron laser (FEL) in China say that the facility now delivers the world’s brightest source of light in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) spectral region, yielding a tool with unprecedented scientific utility.
The Dalian Coherent Light Source (DCLS) is said to be the only high-gain FEL user facility operating exclusively in the VUV, and after nearly five years in development it produces a photon flux of 1.4 x 1014 photons per pulse.
