3D Pictures of Single Nanoparticles with Short and Strong X-Ray Pulses

For more than a century, X-Ray diffraction has been used to comprehend the structure of crystals or proteins; for example, the well-known double helix structure of DNA, which carries genetic information, was found in this way in 1952. Using this method, short-wavelength X-Ray beams are blasted at the object being studied.
