Nature Photonics has recently included in its Research Highlights a work published in Physical Review Letters by ICFO Research Fellow Dr. Carles Serrat and ICFO Prof. Jens Biegert. The work demonstrates that adding a periodic static field results in efficiency enhancement of X-Ray sources. As the picture shows, the enhancement...
