Thinner than a knife's edge: 3D-printed liquid sheet jet technology for solution phase XFEL experiments [PDF]
IUCrJ, 2023 In this commentary, we explore the pioneering implementation of 3D-printed thin liquid sheet devices for advanced X-ray scattering and spectroscopy experiments at high-repetition rate XFELs.

High-quality ultra-fast total scattering and pair distribution function data using an X-ray free-electron laser [PDF]
IUCrJHigh-quality total scattering data, a key tool for understanding atomic-scale structure in disordered materials, require stable instrumentation and access to high momentum transfers. This is now routine at dedicated synchrotron instrumentation using high-

Probing laser-driven surface and subsurface dynamics via grazing-incidence XFEL scattering and diffraction [PDF]
IUCrJWe demonstrate a grazing-incidence X-ray platform that simultaneously records time-resolved grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) and grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction (GID) from a femtosecond-laser-irradiated gold film above the ...
