SLAC X-Ray Laser Helps Observe Deformation of a Material’s Atomic Structure

Materials can change their shape when hit by a powerful shock wave – a property called plasticity – yet they keep their lattice-like atomic structure. Scientists have now used the X-ray laser at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory to observe, for the first time, how a material’s atomic structure gets deformed when shocked by pressures almost as extreme as the ones at the center of the Earth.
