Controlling X-Rays with Light is A Step Toward Controlling How Matter Behaves

Like playing a game of scissors-paper-rock, a team of scientists led by Thornton E. (Ernie) Glover of Berkeley Lab's Advanced Light Source (ALS), Linda Young of Argonne National Laboratory, and Ali Belkacem of Berkeley Lab's Chemical Sciences Division has used laser light to control x-ray beams - by first changing the material medium through which the x-rays pass.
